The context around the concept - Jin

My second idea is to reutilise errors from graphic applications (such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash etc.) to produce unique visual effects.

Artists in all media have always experimented with the limits of the available technology to create new effects.

For example (click to see the example artists and works on my blog)

In fact, lots of contemporary artists and designers use ‘accidents’ to push their work forwards and find something unique. In a similar way, I want to collect accidental effects produced by computer applications (ones that I have found and also from other people) and see how they could be used creatively.

I’m not trying to make an exhaustive compilation of these effects. Instead, I want to create a presentation (possibly as a website) which will show the potentials of this approach.
