AXBX

When an arcade machine boots up sometimes there are brief flashes of garbled images known as "ROM Flushes". These images last a fraction of a second and are usually never noticed (or seen) by most people. AXBX captures these screens from 128 different arcade games and randomly layers them on top of each other in various ways, both statically (AX) and in real time (BX). Because of the randomness and layering involved in the algorithm, AXBX has over 4 trillion pattern combinations.

AXBX has been featured in the book Glitch: Designing Imperfection and in the exhibition Gameworld at Laboral Art and Industrial Creation Centre, Gijon, Spain
