XX111

XX111 is a digital art project created by artist and programmer, Daniel Giovannetti, in the early 2010s. The project consists of a series of glitch art images and videos that explore the relationship between technology, perception, and reality.

XX111 is characterized by its use of distorted and fragmented digital images, often incorporating elements of 8-bit and 16-bit video games, computer screensavers, and other forms of digital detritus. These distorted images are often manipulated to create a sense of disorientation and unease, challenging the viewer's perceptions and questioning the nature of reality in a digital age.

Giovannetti's use of glitch art has been seen as a way of subverting traditional notions of artistic value and exploring the aesthetic potential of digital error and malfunction. XX111's images and videos have been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, and have also been featured in numerous academic and media outlets.

The project's name, XX111, is often interpreted as a binary code, representing the zeroes and ones that make up the fundamental building blocks of digital information. This interpretation highlights Giovannetti's interest in the underlying code and infrastructure of digital technologies, and the ways in which these systems can be marshaled and manipulated to create new forms of art and experience.

Through XX111, Giovannetti offers a nuanced and provocative exploration of the intersections between technology, art, and perception, opening up new possibilities for the development of digital art and its critical engagement with the world around it.
