<strong>Glitch</strong> <strong>Aesthetics</strong><br />
<strong>Iman</strong> <strong>Moradi</strong><br />
<strong>Glitch</strong>es can also surprise us with their complexity. Sometimes changing a few<br />
variables affecting a simple design element on computer can cause a crash and a<br />
visually pleasing glitch to occur. However, this computer generated ready-made<br />
complexity worries some glitch artists who fear this makes their work easily<br />
brandable, or indistinguishable from digital trash.<br />
Least of all though, the graphic programmer Lia 22 , who openly mentions she likes<br />
making simple changes such as how many sides a simple object can have, so that<br />
her design program glitches and produces unexpected results.<br />
Part of the appeal present in this added complexity, its aesthetic order inherent in<br />
chaos aspect, relates to the idea of multiplicity expressed in “the aesthetics of<br />
noise”. It has a certain god like quality about it. (see Sangild, 2002 :Noise as<br />
multiplicity) Sangild, quotes the French philosopher Michel Serres “All concepts,<br />
all understanding of the world is an ordering of this chaos, this multiplicity,<br />
"noise."<br />
[to write on, randomness and complexity and its particular aesthetic appeal<br />
