<strong>Glitch</strong> <strong>Aesthetics</strong><br />

<strong>Iman</strong> <strong>Moradi</strong><br />

“the natural glitch causes immediate interest” (Eide, 2002)<br />

There is something seductive about technology for which we have no control<br />

over, it presents the interesting unknown. In my personal observations, some car<br />

adverts and alcoholic beverages are trying to craft fashionably cool images of<br />

their products by using <strong>Glitch</strong>-alikes in their advertising.<br />

Angela Lorenz 34 , suggests in the case of the visual glitch, marketing executives are<br />

exploiting styles they see without considering or promoting any experimentation,<br />

according to Lorenz, they “try to make themselves appear more interesting /<br />

appealing to a "young" audience by hopping onto a certain "trend" ”. (Lorenz,<br />

2003. personal communication)<br />
