RCA SECRET 2017 | TOMI VOLLAUSCHEK'S POSTCARD CONTRIBUTIONS (2 OF 4)
Shown here are two postcard contributions by FL@33's Tomi Vollauschek featuring two of his glitch photographs taken during a strong storm when the TV signal was shaky, which resulted in pixelated TV broadcasts including a BBC weatherman (#19) who warned the nation about the ongoing storm and what looks like a digital glitch jellyfish (#937).

___ Another two FL@33 2017 contributions created by Agathe Jacquillat were posted on a separate project page – you can see them here.

___ We would love to know who bought our cards. Please do let us know if you have any of our RCA Secret contributions. If you can and don't mind please send us a picture or two of the framed postcards for this very website.
