Concepts behind glitch
- Obviousness of the digital medium
- Randomness
- Tension between reduction and excess [1]
- Tension between reification and critique [2]
- Tension between function an failure [3]
- 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. [4]

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:
- Technical glitch
- Aesthetic glitch
- Conceptual glitch
- Functional glitch

Workshop with Lust, 1st part: 7/10/2016
Git with the explanation and materials of the workshop
My work consists on glitching one of the scripts they showed us . This script is called Webgrider, and it's functionality is to show the layout of a webpage. The input is a webpage, and the output, an image of the website layout. I decided to make a functional glitch , changing the look and aesthetics of the output. Thus, making the output an artistic image, rather than a functional one.
