Glitch 4 (Pink, Orange, Purple)

All Stereohype button badges available at stereohype.com are classic, high-quality, one-inch (25 mm) metal-back badges with a so-called D-pin fastening. Small stickers on the reverse provide details such as the artist’s name, release date and series number. This growing collection of mobile mini canvases includes more than 1,700 individual designs by over 650 graphic designers, illustrators, photographers and artists from around the world. It brings together all contributions to the FL@33 / Tomi Vollauschek-curated B.I.O. (By Invitation Only) series, winners of Stereohype’s international open-call button badge design competition, and additional collections including the special collaborations, AFOMFS Series, MICA Series, 10×10 Series and Emoji Series. All badges are manufactured in Europe.

Also available as an elegant luxury gift box containing all 7 button badges.

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.
