Glitch+Art

=Let's first look back to Analogue content. Video, music and images used to be produced on physical media called analogue. Nothing digital existed. Instead imagery and sound were embedded on vinyl records, cassette tapes and film. For more on this historical context watch this: =

Often the glitches have to do with the code that makes up a digital image or video. In analogue art often the physical film or tape had broken or gotten destroyed. Glitch is sometimes also called databending or datamoshing. =


 * ===//reinterpretation//—converting a file from one medium to another (say, converting an executable file into an image file) or from one file format to a dissimilar format)===
 * ===//sonification//—the reinterpretation of non-audio data into audio data—probably the most common form of databending===
 * ===//forced errors//—forcing an application or piece of hardware to fail in the hopes that it will behave unexpectedly or the data will corrupt===
 * ===//incorrect editing//—editing a file using software/hardware intended for a different form of data; say, editing non-text files in a text editor===

===//glitch art// is visual art that involves or is caused by digital glitches or errors. (there's some debate over this, but for our discussions, we won't include art that simply "looks glitchy"; it has to involve real glitches.) not all glitch art is databent; sometimes it occurs naturally. hardware and software fail all the time, occasionally creating glitch art. but that depends on chance. let's talk about creating glitches on purpose—using databending techniques to create glitch art.===

==The School of the Art Institute of Chicago has a number of professors who teach Glitch art. James Connolly has an excellent website that details the history of glitch and also looks at all the varied ways artists create glitches. ==
