There are three instances when the static notion of transmitting information is interrupted. These interruptions result in noise artifacts:

Encoding / decoding (compression), Glitch (other noise) and Feedback

Get away from the established action scripts and join the avant-garde of the unknown. Become a nomad of noise artifacts!!

software that is used to encode and decode the information!

feedback!

The dominant, continuing search for a noiseless channel has been, and will always be no more than a regrettable, ill-fated dogma.!

glitch alike!

Employ bends and breaks as a metaphor for différance. Use the glitch as an exoskeleton for progress.!Programmed glitch art!

Challenge the materiality (input and hard/software) and interpretation (genres, interfaces and expectations)!

Page 9: Gene Siskel Presentation

Rejoice the critical trans-media aesthetics of glitch artifacts. !

* Glitches can show any medium in a critical state (ruined, unwanted, not recognized, accidental and horrendous state); a state of hypetrophy.!Then we see the exoskeleton of the “Vernacular of File Formats”!

* Glitches can be used to criticize the inherent politics of the medium (genre, interface norms and expectations)!

Realize that the gospel of (progressive) glitch art also tells about new standards implemented by corruption.!

Speak the totalitarian language of disintegration!

Glitchspeak (opposing ʻNewspeakʼ: Orwell, 1984), is not just a new form, but an exoskeleton of progress, a new generative form.!

Just like Foucault stated that there can be no reason without madness, Gombrich wrote that order does not exist without chaos and Virilio described that there is no technological progression without its inherent accident, I am of the opinion that flow cannot be understood without interruption or functioning without glitching. This is why there is a need for glitch studies.!

Employ Glitchspeak (as opposed to Newspeak) and study what is outside !of knowledge. Glitch theory is what you can just get away with!!
