the social network soundtrack: artwork by rob sheridan

“An early idea I had was to digitally corrupt the images we had from the film, combining a ‘glitch art’ visual aesthetic I've always been interested in with a metaphor for digital images shared on Facebook, the corruption they're susceptible to, and the corruption portrayed in the film.”
