Jordan Bardgett, an SIU MFA in the school of media arts, shows off the tattoo that inspired her piece called ‘Transistor.’ Feb. 3, 2024 at the Sharpe Museum in Carbondale, Illinois. “The story of this is it started off as a tattoo idea. Its actually tattooed on the back of my neck… Then I ended up making these prints by going ahead and converting the image of this little symbol I created, the transistor symbol, and running it through actual audio software to get these glitchy effects… Basically almost photo editing but with an audio program,” Bardgett said.
