<strong>Glitch</strong> <strong>Aesthetics</strong><br />
<strong>Iman</strong> <strong>Moradi</strong><br />
Abstract:<br />
In music classification, the <strong>Glitch</strong> has been elevated to the prestigious status of<br />
having its own genre. However, there have been very few discussions on the<br />
practice of creating or capturing visual manifestations of <strong>Glitch</strong>es in today’s<br />
highly signal perfect media and pixel perfect computer interfaces. This seems<br />
paradoxical in relation to earlier trends of discussing qualities of media and is<br />
testament to the fact that we are becoming more silent as technology finds its<br />
own voice.<br />
The underlying theme in this study, was to find out what it is that drives visual<br />
glitch artists in their desire to create glitches and to seek an answer to the<br />
question, can the glitch be an effective medium in the ‘pantheon of artforms?’ 1 -<br />
“While <strong>Glitch</strong> Music has experienced a greater amount of exposure, other forms of<br />
<strong>Glitch</strong> Art have remained more obscure. Some have not been conceptualised as art<br />
at all” (Motherboard, 2002). This dissertation aims to address this void and its<br />
surrounding issues.<br />
