They were not man, an author to himself, but only a caricature of that masculinist reproductive dream.
The cherode of glitch, if we are to use the homesteading the noosphere metaphor, is like developing on the plya.
self-developing and externally designed
Our best machines are made of sunshine; they are all light and clean because they are nothing but signals
Ultimately the 'hardest' science is about the realm of greatest boundary confusion, the realm of pure number, pure spirit
There might be a cyborg Alice taking account of these new dimensions
both perspectives at once because each reveals both dominations and possibilities unimaginable from the other vantage point

a growing impatience to get faster and to progress towards perfection
I learn about me; my preconceptions and expectations
about you but also about your successors
digital noise materialized and artists wandered the planes of phosphor burnin
the technological curve; to ride the waves of both euphoria and disappointment
The system consists of layers
of obfuscated protocols that find their origin in ideologies, economies, political hierarchies
and social conventions
a feeling of shock, or being lost and in awe
an intimate, personal experience
of a machine (or program), a system exhibiting its formations, inner workings and flaws
a spark of creative energy that indicates that something new is about to be created
But once the glitch is named, the momentum – the glitch – is gone...and in front of my eyes
suddenly a new form has emerged
an unexpected and
abnormal modus operandi
the original experience of a rupture moved
beyond its momentum and vanished into a realm of new conditions
its previous encounter has become an ephemeral, personal experience
they search for the point when a new form is born from the
blazed ashes of its precursor

Identities seem contradictory, partial, and strategic
It remains to be seen whether all 'epistemologies' as Western political people have known them fail us in the task to build effective affinities

the shocking experience,
perception and understanding of what a glitch is at one point in time cannot be preserved
for a future time
an assemblage of perceptions
and the understanding of multiple actors
The glitches I trigger turn the
technology back into the obfuscated box that it already was
synaesthesia not just as a metaphor for transcoding one medium upon another (with a
new algorithm), but a conceptually driven meeting of the visual and the sonic within the newly
uncovered quadrants of technology.
practices of breaking flows within different technologies
or platforms
a medium in a critical state: a ruined, unwanted, unrecognized,
accidental and horrendous state
flow cannot be understood without
interruption
This ambiguous contingency of the glitch
depends on its constantly mutating materiality
the materiality of glitch art is not (just) the
machine on which the work appears, but a constantly changing construct that depends on
the interactions between the text and its social, aesthetic and economic dynamics
Glitch studies is a misplaced truth; it is a vision that destroys itself by its own choice
of and for oblivion. The best ideas are dangerous because they generate awareness. Glitch
studies is what you can just get away with.

an emerging system of world order analogous in its novelty and scope to that created by industrial capitalism,
better yet... hominization
from all work to all play, a deadly game

Surf the vortex of
technology, the in-between,
