Iman Moradi – Glitch Aesthetics

Glitch Aesthetics
Iman Moradi
- Brian Kearns, is the “Cosmic Locksmith”, a unique filmmaker, who refers to his
personal site as a liquid textbook and feels the Glitch and the subversive go hand
in hand. His internet distributable animations are based on images found on
publicly accessible cultural signifiers such as news websites. They convey an
underlying desire to expose his personal socio-political perspective to the world,
while maintaining a sense of humour. Sometimes, I feel Brian is too concerned
with the reproducibility of the glitch style, instead I think he should possibly go
on enjoying the immediacy that comes with glitches and the potential to speak in
the same visual or sonic language with his fellow collaborators such as Transfatty.
In correnspondence with Brian I realised his socio political agenda is very close to
what I want to achieve through glitches.
