More discussions
exist on the field of glitches in music composition than there ever have been.
In music classification the glitch has even been elevated to the prestigious
status of having its genre. However, there have been very little discussions of
the practice of creating and capturing visual manifestations of glitches in
today’s highly signal perfect media and pixel perfect computer interfaces. This
seems paradoxical in relation to earlier trends of discussing qualities of
media and is testament to the fact that we are becoming more silent as
technology finds its own voice. The underlying theme also in this study, was to
find out what it is that drives visual glitch artists in their desire to create
glitches and to seek an answer to the question, can the glitch be an effective
medium in the ‘pantheon of artforms?’[1] -
While Glitch Music has experienced a greater amount of exposure, other
forms of Glitch Art have remained more obscure. Some have not been
conceptualized as art at all.(Motherboard 2002) This dissertation aims to address this
and surrounding issues.
