These digital prints represent the best of Ant Scott’s ‘pure glitch’ phase. the images, which at first might appear bewildering, were created from computer crashes, software errors, hacked games, and megabytes of raw data turned into coloured pixels. The production process is driven by personal preferences in the choice of patterns and colours. His titles are often neologisms based on personal life events at the time of production.
