[https://github.com/lust/xpublishing Git with the explanation and materials of the workshop]
My work consists on <span style="background-color:LightGoldenRodYellow ">glitching one of the scripts they showed us </span>. This script is called [https://github.com/amirhouieh/webgrider 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 <b>functional glitch </b>, changing the look and aesthetics of the output. Thus, making the output an artistic image, rather than a functional one.

Concepts behind glitch

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

Artists who use glitch

  1. Paul B Davis
  2. Rosa Menkman
  3. Sabato Visconty
  4. Nick Briz
  5. Nam June Paik

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
  3. Conceptual glitch
  4. Functional glitch

Text references

  1. Compression Aesthetics: Glitch From the Avant-Garde to Kanye West

Visual references

  1. Paul B Davis video that mixes Umbrella by Rihanna with Zombie by Cranberries


Glitch for comercial purposes

  1. Kanye West, Welcome To Heartbreak ft. Kid Cudi
