This three-part sculptural installation presents choreographed projections from the artists’ “glitch in real life” archive—an ever-growing collection of viral images shared online as uncanny, surreal, or inexplicably broken moments. The projected constellations flow across transparent Plexiglas cubes, creating shifting layers of visual noise, distortion, and reflection.

Referencing pop culture, satire, and digital mythology, the work explores how images circulate, mutate, and mirror shared perceptions. The artists approach this archive not as a question of truth or fiction, but as a portal into a collective subconscious shaped by memes, simulation aesthetics, and everyday glitches in reality.

The images range from sublime sightings of angels in clouds to mirrored animals, doppelgänger pedestrians, and pixelated skies that seem to be “loading.” Rather than questioning whether these images are real, the artists reflect on how we interpret and reinsert such images into an ever-expanding ocean of visual culture—each glitch becoming a shared projection.
