Hugh S. Manon and Daniel Temkin recently published a great paper on glitch art called “Notes on Glitch”. It reads more like a collection of thoughts than one concise paper, but it’s still an awesome read.
Glitch Safari (from myself and noteNdo) and Dataface both receive a mention in the gallery, along with other awesome works.
Out of all of the notes there were a couple of points that stood out to me, which I’d like to add my own thoughts to.
I recently turned on the TV to find that the channel it was last on was totally glitching!
What I kept trying to figure out was where the glitch was occurring. Sure, it’s on screen, but what part of the signal is getting errors? I imagine that there’s three places it could’ve gone wrong: at Virgin Media headquaters, on the receiver at home or from the HDMI cable connecting the receiver to the TV. I turned the channel over and the glitch was gone, but that still doesn’t rule out where it could’ve been happening.
