Glitch Art

I decided to use the idea of gay marriage for my glitch art. Many people see gay marriage as a glitch in society, and many even view gay people themselves as glitches. Whether they be extremely religious, extremely hateful, and extremely biased, those that do not support gay marriage will think that gay people have something wrong with them; that there are glitches in their genetic makeup that made them this way. I believe being gay is not a glitch, but it is a lifestyle choice that may be different from the norm. We as a society and as a culture need to embrace the fact that gay people are different, that they choose to be different, and that they are not harming us. If they are glitches, then they only make the system of our world better by adding diversity and spreading more love. 

The results of the glitching I did to this photos is so interesting. The first image is of the equality symbol, which is a well-known image associated with gay rights. I like the way this glitch came out because the top half of the image didn't change that much, so you can still see the original picture, but the bottom transformed into different colors and textures. The next image is of two men that just got married, and the glitch changed the colors and the horizontal lines of the picture. The last image is similar, but it was more difficult to glitch. Because the picture is so big and complex, I changed so much in the code but it still didn't change that much. It still distorted the image though, and it came out really interesting. While the changes I made to the code only changed the colors and horizontal lines of these three pictures I still really like the outcome.
