on glitch......


It is interesting to think that the idea of glitch is has become this aesthetically pleasing genre of art. What originated as errors or misreading s in data has become a new wave of style. I think the vernacular article used a very good example in commercial glitch in the Kanye West Welcome to Heartbreak music video. It is proof that the breakdown of this system of variables has become an acceptable means of communication in an art context. Im not sure what it is about glitch that is so captivating when it is performed “correctly”, if such a term can exist in such an unpredictable form of medium. The digital artifact has ushered in a fresh new and exciting form of expression that can never be completely controlled, which is very uncommon in most artist medium.
