The Dimension and Delineations of Glitch Art

Digital art making practices make a form that distinguishes itself on an ability to preserve its image within dissemination. However, practices that come into being with a foundation based on a re-forming of the image provide a place to contemplate the manifestation of the digital image as reproduction that is not free of an unmaking within its shaping through a dis-alignment of its programmic nature. Through an engagement with Glitch Art, an art making that creates images around digital deformations the mode of digital art production is introspected. The static image in a questioning of its potential for distortion comes across as one iteration of its visibility where its underlying processes assume a temporary stability and the absence of which gives way to formal collapse which in turn provides a disclosure of the latent propensities of the digital image in its glitch form. Looking at the place of the art making of glitch as not distinct from its practice of distorting media, one thereby looks at how this intertwined aspect can be a site to explore artistic interventions in technology.
