Chepertom

Chepertom, whose real name is Thomas Collet, is a French glitch artist known for his distinctive approach to digital art. By manipulating pixels and intentionally corrupting files, he creates mesmerising works that challenge conventional perceptions of digital media. Collet’s process involves breaking down video files through code, deliberately distorting their structure to produce unexpected visual effects. This practice reflects his interest in the fragility of the medium, highlighting that digital media is not eternal but susceptible to corruption and degradation.

Chepertom’s work extends beyond visual experimentation and acts as a commentary on the vulnerabilities of digital technology. As Collet explains, “Glitch art processes open a new narrative where digital doesn’t only produce tangible data but also generates artefacts through its destruction.” His glitch artworks stand as a testament to the creative potential found in imperfection, reminding us that the digital realm, often perceived as pristine and unassailable, reveals its own beauty when pushed to its limits.
