Description
My research started with achieving a baseline understanding of the concepts, aesthetics, and processes of ‘glitch art’ theoretically as well as technically. My research takes ‘glitches’ (digital or analog errors and irregularities) from old technology and displays them through new emerging technologies. Glitches commonly lurk around old programing and analog technology. This presents an inherent problem for the progression of glitch art as a practice. Due to constant updates, immersive experiences are extremely polished on the outside. Glitch is only starting to be realized in new spaces of technology, specifically in immersive Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality platforms. By showing prior glitches in new technologies and by breaking into the codes of emerging platforms, I am able to explore and experience the methodical process of system failure in a new way.
