UR bureau’s ‘glitch condo’ pairs cool greys with daring accent colours

A glitch-inspired home THAT EMBRACES DIGITAL NOISE

 

UR bureau highlights how technology and digital information pervade our everyday lives with the design of this 67 sqm apartment interior. the project’s design concept contrasts monochrome with bright colors with the use of glitch art elements that reflect the digital age. the central element of the apartment is a column that includes a sofa area, a dining table and a part of the kitchen. this element is the functional and visual core of the entire interior.

 

‘digital noise has penetrated into those areas of life that people used to leave for privacy. in the new reality, even being in your home, everyone, one way or another, is exposed to it.’

the author of the project did not intentionally fight noise, creating a calm and neutral space for relaxation, but used the post-glitch effect as an artistic tool embodying the digitalization of our lives. glitch acts here as a connecting element between man and technology. the phenomenon of error, the aesthetics of error or glitch aesthetics are directly related to technological progress.

 

glitch problematizes digital culture, it can be considered a manifesto of the unique aesthetics of software. due to new forms, art has entered the sphere of everyday life, where it has become a universal symbolic language. it is here that glitch aesthetics becomes a formative strategy, where an error, failure, noise or malfunction turns into a building material for a work of art.
