about glitch
glitch by misha de ridder, released by Fingerprints, is a collection of 50 animated GIFs, stemming from photographs of erased graffiti. The act of erasing can involve both destruction and generation, transformation and reimagination — allowing for new possibilities to emerge.
Playing with notions of loss and re-coding, misha has re-animated the graffiti, inserting liminal afterimages of what was once there: faces, text, and indecipherable symbols. The result is a series of images that blur the lines between abstract painting, photography, animation, and token art. glitch meditates on the idea of “unwanted information,” — the delineation between messages that are wanted, seen, and proliferated, and those that are not. Like memes for the public space, graffiti is a subversive, spontaneous form of communication meant for the masses.
As a commentary on secondary market dynamics, misha has also introduced a twist: each time a token is traded, the artwork changes. On the first trade, the animation vanishes. Subsequent trades cause the image to fade, until eventually, a faint residue remains.
Collectors can pay to restore the image to the minted original, or choose to burn the token to redeem it for a limited edition, physical fine art print through a collaboration with Assembly.

dynamic token mechanics
All 50 1 of 1s in the series are designed to degrade with each secondary market trade or transfer to another wallet. The token's traits, title and token ID always remain except when you burn the token for a print. Anyone can pay a small amount to refresh the token, restoring it to its original state on the website glitch.mishaderidder.com.
1. The initial collector receives an original photo with liminal animation as GIF-file.
2. After the first sale or transfer, the animation disappears, leaving only the photo.
3. After the second sale or transfer the photo fades 50%.
4. After the third sale or transfer the photo will disappear leaving just a residue.
