Glen Jennings AKA "Glen Stephani" is a digital media artist based in Chicago. He uses the mechanical filter of technology as a lens through which to create his vivid organic imagery. Source material is all generated by "Stephani" himself by an ever expanding variety of processes including but not limited to: video image, vector art, pen and ink illustration, found image reappropriation, digital photography, rotoscope animation and sound to image. Aesthetic inhibitions have contrasted from the lo-fi and damaged to a clean graphic look and are often times influenced by the process of creation itself. Glen seeks out the unintended parameters in all artifices, hardware and applications and manipulates them accordingly. He believes these "hidden g-spots" or glitches reveal the true spirit of the machine and are a symbolic mirror to the resistance within us all. Like the color halftone dots from a dot matrix printer, the unexpected result of a machines design oftentimes become the cutting edge design aesthetic of tomorrow. Do what's unintended of you and discover a realm beyond your intended function.
"all information wants to be free."
in our life time we will see that all art, music, writing and software will be free. personal expression will be freed from the corporate chains of money making that have compromised our mainstream culture. the target marketing that has gutted individual thought will be rendered ineffective. everybody is the creator and consumer.
