exploring unpredictability of time leaps and system crashes, delays
topology of error
information is fragile ↔ noise as a source of new patterns
space between interfaces where digital art can function as a subversion of the polished make-believe future of the information era (well, shall we say we capitulate on this one - respectfully lay it to rest…)
code wriggles to the surface of the screen
code stripped of functionality
we serve no content (jodi)
translation path does not exist
glitch = political, anarchic; draws attention to the constructed nature of information
from useless UI shuffling (topographical amnesia) to deep drifting (derive)
is it broken or is it meant to sound like that?
glitch = discrepancy between intention and expectation
exploring spaces of non-lethal glitches - mutations, changes, corruptions
glitch as a catalyst of change and mutation - away from sedentary systems
different sites where glitches occur have dif. levels of fragility (data, protocol, system, intersystem…)
engineering errors: physical, bit level, input data, system, application, interaction…
to avoid collapse: loosen structure, make new connections, focus on emergence
for a sendentary system a glitch produces meaningless noise, in an emergent system the noise can become a new pattern. decay of one system can incite growth of another.
incompatible protocols, data & platforms, flakey networks
digital decay, graceful degradation
rotting of protocols and routines
rheumatic interfaces with noise oozing out of them, demented search engines
