Glitch vs Lindsay Lohan

For my glitch art I chose to glitch pictures of Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan had a positive affect on children once upon a time, and I used to look up to her. One of my favorite movies of all time is Parent Trap. Lindsay made me want to act, be successful at a young age, and follow my dreams. Lindsay Lohan captured America's hearts and had a very bright future, until she got into drugs, alcohol, and theft at her peak of success. I believe the fame and fortune at a young age made her go crazy, and because she was under the spotlight in everything she did. I think at one point she could have been positively embraced, however ever since she started doing drugs, becoming an alcoholic, and committing crimes she broke her positive streak and is now looked upon as a negative influence.

Lindsay Lohan can relate to glitch because she broke convention in a positive light, and negative light. She was once a child star, and now she's a washed up "where is she now?" I believe glitch represents this because a glitch is some type of error, or change in a picture/video. It distorts an image, just as Lindsay Lohan distorted her life. She is a scattered person nowadays, and glitch art represents that very clearly. People may have different opinions on her than I do, however I don't think of her as a totally negative person because she was once a positive influence. I tried to glitch these images to represent her downfall, so my three images are in order from least glitched, to most glitched. My reflections on this assignment is that it was quite hard to glitch images. I tried using the image glitch experiment, but I couldn't get them to look how I wanted so I downloaded the app for iPhone. I really enjoyed this app because I felt as if it knew how I wanted my images to look. I also think it was easier to use, and very convenient for a person like me who always has their phone, and not their laptop.

Here are my original images, and my glitched ones.
