Concepts behind glitch

1. Obviousness of the digital medium
2. Randomness
3. Tension between reduction and excess
4. Tension between reification and critique
5. Tension between function an failure
6. The more intensified a technical system, the more error and breakdown figure as potent metaphors of dysfunction and anti- communication in material critiques of the media. Thus a paradox lies at the heart of the electronic glitch: the more one attempts to control, to functionalize culture through new technologies, the more does one also proliferate glitches and errors.

Reflections

The glitched images I have been making, are made by changing the code of the image as if it was text. Therefore, when the image is decompressed, it looks different. This is not a glitch in the technology. However, it is a glitch in the aesthetic of the image.

Kinds of glitch

Here I am trying to detect different kind of Glitches:

1. Technical glitch
2. Aesthetic glitch

4. Functional glitch
