By DESCRIPTION

By definition glitch art is the aestheticization of digital or analog errors, such as artifacts and other "bugs", by either corrupting digital code/data or by physically manipulating electronic devices (for example by circuit bending).srcGlitch art wikepedia

I found myself interested in the idea of data moshing, data bending, image hacking or errors or disrupted, corrupted, malfunction, anomaly, noise of the transmitting or receiving digital or analog signal. Or mapping the invisible - showing the lost of information in visual matter. What have triggered my attention to consider the glitch as an media object is the temporarily of the image - the ephemerally of the code behind seen as a budge of lines of numbers, letters and symbols. I would like to question two aspects in glitch as a media object why and how is it considered to be a form of new media aesthetics - fetishisation of technology created and consumed? As some pervasive notion of how new digital aesthetics imply the seductive role of the technology or moreover the existing fetishism of how the technology had tend to failed. Why it remains something relevantly old in terms how has been used as an expanded noise - disturbed signal and on the other hand the practice and social context of the contemporary glitch scene? Some may argue what is the main purpose matter of visual distortion or appropriation in the glitch practices? Furthermore is it just a tweaking visual characteristics or it could convey a certain context?

Highlight

Glitch Pure vs glitch alike according Moradi classification.

Menkman the notion of glitch as required noise in "Theory of communication".

Different aspects ...different definition form my own one.

why and how glitch became a wide exploration of commercial and artistic practices.

glitch as an object of fetish.

MEDIA/ poSSible OUTCOME

"First you have to understand the system and why you are breaking it then you will know what are your tools and then you could play with it."
I am experimenting with several methods of glitching in the process of finding the right content or target_glc. "Glitch art is like photography it is to do but it is not easy to do well."
1*1 play with the format convert jpg into bmp open in the text editor copy/ paste bits safe (outcome: some stills and gifs)
1*2 command line - no control on the glitches (used found footage )
!*3 Processing Glitch library --> glitching already existing video(the bridge) could modify certain parameters but no control on the speed and colors
