Glitch art uses technological glitches or errors in digital systems in a conceptual or aesthetic way. It can showcase a medium in an unwanted or accidental state to critique the politics and expectations of that medium. The Glitch Studies Manifesto celebrates glitch artifacts and using glitches as a metaphor for difference and progress, employing breaks as a way to dispute genres and interfaces. It argues glitches inevitably lead to the development of new standards and can move from being "cool" glitches that emphasize process to "hot" glitches focused more on a static end product.
I am happy to announce my new solo show at the Fabio Paris Art Gallery in Brescia, Italy, curated by Domenico Quaranta. It is a small but very nice gallery that also hosts artists like UBERMORGEN.COM, Eva e Franco Mattes aka 0100101110101101.ORG and my friends Nullsleep and Tonylight - so I am in realy good company.
This is the Catalogue written by Domenico Quaranta.

Design Fiction: A short slideshow on design, science, fact and fictionJulian Bleecker
http://cli.gs/DesignFictionEssay
An exploration of the entanglements amongst science fiction and science fact, in order to show how they are not distinct, but infinitely knotted together. Why do this? In order to wonder — what are effective ways of designing the future?
Design fiction is making things that tell stories. It's like science-fiction in that the stories bring into focus certain matters-of-concern, such as how life is lived, questioning how technology is used and its implications, its ability to speculate about the course of events; all of the unique abilities of science fiction to incite imagination-filling conversations about possible habitable, life-affirming future worlds.
A larger discussion of this slidshow overview is available here: http://cli.gs/DesignFictionEssay
A look into when old technologies were new. Relating to cinema and going to the places where tech changed the world.
A powerpoint from Royal Holloway Film course.
Reading on the Holodeck: Ray Bradbury, Ivan Sutherland, and the Future of Books. An exploration of the consequences of immersive media environments on IP policy, libraries, and creative arts.
Deconstruction and Deconstructivism. The new “architectural dictionary” of the twenty-first century
and the fragmentation of the architectural discourse

3. Glitch Studies Manifesto
The dominant, continuing search for a noiseless channel has been —
and will always be — no more than a regrettable, ill-fated dogma.

4. Glitch Studies Manifesto
Dispute the operating templates of creative practice; fight genres,
interfaces and expectations.
Get away from the established action scripts and join the avant-
garde of the unknown. Become a nomad of noise artifacts!

5. GLITCH STUDIES MANIFESTO
Celebrate the critical trans-media aesthetics of glitch artifacts.
* Glitches can show any medium in a critical state (ruined, unwanted, not recognized, accidental and
horrendous state); a state of hypetrophy.In images, this leads to the exposure of and exoskeleton or the
Vernacular of the File Format
* Glitches can be used to criticize the inherent politics of the medium
(genre, interface, norms and expectations)

just like Libeskinds sliced facade adds new information, while
showing the building in a ‘ruined’ state.
7. Glitch Studies Manifesto
Employ bends and breaks as a metaphor for différance. Use the
glitch as an exoskeleton for progress.
Realize that the gospel of glitch art also tells about new standards
implemented by corruption.

8. GLITCH STUDIES MANIFESTO
From glitch artifact to filter, plugin or effect.
Glitches are inevitably connected to the development of new
standards.

9. GLITCH STUDIES MANIFESTO
From Cool to Hot glitches (McLuhan):
A hot medium allows of less participation on the part of the viewer
to determine meaning (than a cool one).
Title Credits America’s Next top Model. 2009. Title Credits America’s Next top Model. 2010. A Perfect model grows out of glitched images.
Cool glitches are the glitches that do not just focus on a static end product, but (also) on a process, a personal exploration or a narrative
element (that often reflects critically on a medium).
