# Glitch Studies Manifesto
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. The dominant, continuing search for a noiseless channel has been — and will always be — no more than a regrettable, ill-fated dogma.
|
|||
|
|
Acknowledge that although the constant search for complete transparency brings newer, ‘better’ media, every one of these improved techniques will always possess their own in- herent fingerprints of imperfection.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. Dispute the operating templates of creative practice; fight genres, interfaces and expectations!
|
|||
|
|
Refuse to stay locked into one medium or between contradictions like real vs. virtual, obsolete vs. up-to-date, open vs. proprietary or digital vs. analogue. Surf the vortex of technology, the in-between, the art of artifacts!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. Get away from the established action scripts and join the avant-garde of the unknown. Become a nomad of noise artifacts!
|
|||
|
|
The static, linear notion of information-transmission can be interrupted on three occasions: during encoding-decoding (compression); feedback; or when a glitch (an unexpected break within the flow of technology) occurs. Noise artists must exploit these noise artifacts and explore the new opportunities they provide.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4. Employ bends and breaks as a metaphor for différance. Use the glitch as an exoskeleton for progress.
|
|||
|
|
Find catharsis in disintegration, ruptures and cracks; manipulate, bend and break any medium towards the point where it becomes something new; create glitch art.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5. Realize that the gospel of glitch art also reveals new standards implemented by corruption. Not all glitch art is progressive or something new. The popularization and cultivation of the avant-garde of mishaps has become predestined and unavoidable. Be aware of easily reproducible glitch effects, automated by softwares and plug-ins. What is now a glitch will become a fashion.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6. Force the audience to voyage the acousmatic videoscape.
|
|||
|
|
Create conceptually synaesthetic artworks, that exploit both visual and aural glitch (or other noise) artifacts at the same time. Employ these noise artifacts as a nebula that shrouds the technology and its inner workings and that will compel an audience to listen and watch more exhaustively.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
7. Rejoice in the critical trans-media aesthetics of glitch artifacts.
|
|||
|
|
Utilize glitches to bring any medium in a critical state of hypertrophy, to (subsequently) criticize its inherent politics.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
8. Employ Glitchspeak (as opposed to Newspeak) and study what is outside of knowledge. Glitch theory is what you can just get away with!
|
|||
|
|
Flow cannot be understood without interruption or function without glitching. This is why glitch studies is necessary.
