In the whole manifesto, I can't help but want to ask the question never asked, "How do we know it is a glitch?". Is it just our Western exposure to technology or is it obvious because the visual and acoustic mediums have been used as vehicles for perfect representations of what already exists?
I grew up with an old Samsung TV that had actual knobs on it, and its static noise became familiar to me. It had a positive purpose....with the noise I knew how loud the TV was and I could tell when the signal was clear by how much the static went away. So like the manifesto stated, noise while often negative by default...it can also be a positive way to redefine something else.
Music has had the best embrace with noise in my opinion. I can hear really nicely "played" noise thanks to inventions like the electric guitar and amp. That noise has become a sound we recognize. Think about that. Is that to say that in the future these glitches, the noise in our video transmissions will be recognized as a good bit of visual artistry on behalf of the video's creator?
