VoltageStatic
A photographic AI art style prompt drawing on Glitch Art and Postmodernism. Copy the prompt below into any text-to-image model, then add your own subject at the end. The prompt only describes the look.
On 4 models
The same prompt and the same subject, rendered by different image models — so the differences are the model, not the prompt.
The prompt
Original
a fusion of Lee Friedlander + David Carson + glitch art where disorienting photographic composition combines with fragmented typography, featuring deliberate digital distortion, static noise textures, and abrupt tonal shifts. The technique preserves the original subject while applying communication breakdown aesthetics through strategic visual interference.

Model-neutral
The same look with artist names and copyrighted references removed — for models that refuse them.

Effect only
The recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Only what the style does to a surface.
The subject stays legible inside a frame crowded with overlapping viewpoints. Letterforms shatter and scatter across the image, cutting through the scene. Digital seams, glitch bands, and pixel smears disrupt surfaces; static grain roughens every transition. Value structure jumps in abrupt tonal shifts instead of grading gently. Strategic interference keeps the whole coherent even as each transition feels fractured and unstable.

Using it
- Paste the prompt, then add your subject after it — for example …, a lighthouse on a cliff at dusk.
- The original names artists. Some hosted models refuse that or quietly render around it — on those, use the model-neutral version, which describes the same handling without the names.
- The effect-only version drops the recipe altogether and describes only what the style does to a surface. Use it to mix this look into another style, or when you want nothing traceable to a source.
- Every sample here was rendered against the same short subject — Quiet streets whisper / Her footsteps echo softly / Sunlight paints her path — so it shows the style, not a lucky subject.
