Opened the image in a text editor and watched "Women's television" for 2 hours. Every time a female character made a comment about her appearance or that of another woman, I added the line to the ASCII representation of the image. The result was hauntingly appropriate; the image becomes more and more distorted as the eye reaches her body.
abstract digital art
This started as a blank canvas and was created with several techniques including data bending, Photoshop enhancements and Topaz effects
First, I created an abstract design in Photoshop. I opened it in Text Edit (a basic word processing program) and did data bending by randomly changing the text to create a glitch-art image.
I then opened that image in Photoshop and cloned many parts to balance the design and make it more interesting and then adjusted colors. I took it to Topaz to give it a painterly ambience & texture with an impasto effect. Back in Photoshop I added many more adjustments and tweaks, including distorting parts of it, rotating the entire image 90º and adding color overlays.
I plan to make a hand-made version of this. I will probably paint several sheets of paper, then cut them into strips and re-arrange them into a composition similar to this one. If and when that happens, I'll post it with a link to this image.

art created from my photos
This was created in part by databending a photo. Also called "glitch art," it is created by going into the text code of an image and changing it. You can't see the results until you save your code, then open the image.
After data bending, I usually use Photoshop to make additional changes to improve the random composition resulting from the glitches. Usually, I get a horizontal pattern, so I sometimes turn the image 90º and do more data bending so I have perpendicular lines. I often adjust colors, too.
Actually glitches can happen by themselves. A decade or so ago, I often opened a Photoshop file and received a message that there was an error. Most of the time the glitches were only on one layer. In that case, unless it was the topmost layer, the image looked fine. If it was the top layer, I would have to rework that one layer.
Whatever was causing it (either the software or the computer) it stopped once I had a newer computer and software program, although it occasionally still happens if I open a very old file.

All photos, textures, and the composition are my own with the exception of one image from Adobe Stock (large leaves with distinct vein patterns) that I used as a texture overlay.
