Glitch

PLEASE NOTE — Our long so-called bracelet-style top lid gift boxes (215 x 45 x 25mm) will soon be replaced with Stereohype's new matchbox-style gift box versions. We only have limited stock of these long boxes left during this transition period. New additions will automatically be packaged with our new matchbox-style packaging. We will gradually reshoot preview visuals but for now it is what you see is what you get.

Each of these long luxury gift boxes contains seven of Stereohype's popular button badges. Selected designs are taken from Stereohype's growing button badge collection. So-called Artist Gift Boxes feature button badges designed by only one of Stereohype's super-talented 600+ international contributors – artists, illustrators, designers, architects, photographers, collectives and studios. Inside the elegant matt black cardboard gift box is a black flock pad and badges are directly pinned into it. All Stereohype button badges available at stereohype.com are classic high quality one inch (25mm) metal back badges with so-called D-pin (although it looks more like an 'e'). Tiny stickers at the back of each button badge mention the artist, release date, series number, etc. Badges are printed and encapsulated with love and care in Europe.

Badges from Stereohype's B.I.O. Series 16. Details of glitch visuals by FL@33's Tomi Vollauschek from his collection of screenshots, photographs and digitally manipulated pictures that embrace random and often unexpected errors that technology confronts us with. Tomi's glitch artworks celebrate technology's aesthetics – inside and beyond the physical machines such as computers, hand-held touchscreen devices, film and photo cameras and in case of these glitch button badges – HD TV screens. Gradients and blurry colours are seemingly created with 'digital watercolour' – brief moments when frames per seconds meet data streaming struggles.

Single badge SKUs: B1238B16, B1239B16, B1240B16, B1241B16, B1242B16, B1243B16 and B1244B16.
