          21 year old artist based out of Boulder, Colorado and Los Angeles, California, Charlie Manley, is studying art practices with an emphasis on fashion and digital art. After living in various parts of the world including Boston, Los Angeles, Paris, New York City and now Colorado, her experiences influence the majority of her art. With a preferred medium of collage, Charlie implements fabrics and physical aspects and then combines digital features into her pieces. Her focus is creating bold, unique, and empowering pieces that could hopefully one day be featured in magazines. If Charlie isn’t creating collages, she is styling, shooting, and or directing photo shoots for Bold Magazine which she is the founder and editor in chief, which is truly her passion. Her skills include but are not limited to digital art, fashion photography, film photography, video production and collage. With graduation approaching in spring 2022, Charlie plans on pursuing her art career in Los Angeles, whether it is for a fashion magazine or curating a museum exhibition, Charlie sees a long term future in the arts industry.

For my digital performance project, I think that I am going to use the Madmapper software to  create a projection map. I really enjoyed using Madmapper when we had the class assignment and I feel that I could construct a very strong performance. A piece that really inspired me was the "tiny people tribe" installation that we were shown in class. I don't think I am going to be building or creating something as big or intermediate, but I really enjoyed how it was put together. I really like the idea of putting my projection map on a sheet or something with texture and movement. I have found a lot of my inspiration on Pinterest and feel that I have a lot to work with.

For this project, my goal is to create glitched images that look as if they belong in a high fashion editorial zine. My plan is to take photos from the 90’s that were super high fashion and completely glitch them and transform them into brand new images. My color scheme is definitely going to be bright, trying to incorporate as many neon aspects as I can.

            For the actual glitch process, I want to edit the images in photoshop and make some homemade glitches. I want to play around with the shapes and duplicate subjects in the picture. I also love playing with the effects and filters including warping and changing the noise. After using RGB shifts and other photoshop aspects, I plan on taking the already edited images and bringing them into text editor. From there I want to give them a natural glitch that I can’t control.

This glitch project has been my favorite project thus far. My favorite way of glitching and editing my photos was via text editor. I loved going into the file’s information and breaking it enough that there were glitches, but not to the extent where the file was completely broken. I was also fascinated by the homemade glitch technique via photoshop. I intended on using photoshop for the majority of my images and then was going to bring those photos into text editor and add some unintentional glitches. However, every time I finished the edits on photoshop, I was unable to edit the images in text editor.

            My theme for this project focused on major 90’s fashion trends that I then edited as if they would be featured in a modern day editorial zine. My goal was to incorporate as many colors and neon aspects as possible. These images also highlighted what was popular in the fashion industry during this era; that included lots of pretty, skinny woman. I tried to make the photos as racially diverse as I could, however, it was extremely hard for me to find images of other women of different shapes and sizes. Overall I am happy with how my project turned out and it was rewarding when the class understood my theme during critique before I explained it.
