About the Creator

Phillip David Stearns explores art at the intersection of textile design and creative coding. In 2012, he founded GlitchTextiles, a textile design studio devoted to the continued exploration of computational textile design.

GlitchTextiles GlitchTools

For his work with GlitchTextiles, Phillip develops custom software tools that apply topics ranging from glitch art, cellular automata, pixel sorting, data visualization, cybersecurity and more to textile deign. GlitchTools is a public collection of the tools Phillip develops for making GlitchTextiles designs.

Tools Currently in Development include:

  • CCA Playground - a Cyclical Cellular Automata explorer
  • Wolfram Extended - A 1D Cellular Automata generator that extends Wolfram's Elementary 1D Cellular Automata
  • VectorDrift - Datamoshing simulation tool
  • Langston Extended - Generalized implementation of Langston's Ant 2D Cellular Automata
  • DataViz - Flexible tool for rendering arbitrary binary data into images.
  • Conway Extended - A 2D cellular automata generator that generalizes and extends Conway’s Game of life to include probability.
  • CellSort - A pixel sorting application based on the idea of 2D cellular automata.
  • Diffusion - A tool for exploring custom error-diffusion dithering techniques.
  • CrossSort - A powerful operation-based pixel sorting tool.
  • LangstonSort - A "pixel sorting" tool based on Langston's Ant 2D Cellular Automata

Your Support

GlitchTextiles kindly asks for your support to continue to develop new, exciting tools and to make them available to the public right here on GitHub and beyond. We believe this suite of tools will provide the art and design community with an indispensable resource for exploring their digital world in creative and inspiring ways.

@GlitchTextiles

We're just beginning to move our GlitchTools into our public repository! There's still loads of work to be done in order to make these tools friendly and ready for release. This goal will enable us to devote sustained hours to project of creating and maintaining commercial releases of our open source tools.
