presents communication related glitch concepts and non-visual classifications<br />

based around them.<br />

To go by the dictionary definition of the word “glitch” would be narrowing its<br />

scope too much. Even though this field of visual glitch exploration has a small<br />

following, the found glitches or the works created are vastly different.<br />

practices prevalent in the production and presentation of glitch artwork.<br />

Therefore, it is important to define two terms that delineate the most popular<br />

related approaches. This dissertation deals mostly with the first but the first<br />

cannot exist without a study of the Second.<br />
