Glitches

[Clément Lévy]

Hi,
Using the digest version of the Pynchon List, I already knew what  
glitches are, because it's what most messages sometimes look like  
(not all the time! we would be talking about the Pynchon Glistch)

I immediately tried to edit a jpg via txt, and I messed it up too  
much.  It
was too corrupted.  My mistake was probably my adding text rather  
than just
subtracting...

Glitches are the frustrating byproduct of technology gone awry.  
Wildly<br>
scrambled images, frozen blue screens, and garbled sounds signify<br>
moments where we want to throw our expensive computer products out  
the<br>
window. Many artists and programmers, however, have embraced these<br>
crisis moments and discovered beauty in the glitch. By hacking<br>
familiar systems, they intentionally cause glitches, and manipulate<br>
them to create art. Enjoying the aesthetics of technological  
mistakes<br>
defies the notion that technology and entertainment has to be a<br>
seamless experience. Most importantly, glitch artists reveal a  
certain<br>
soulfulness that emerges when complex streams of information, visual<br>
media, and our own lives converge in the chaos of the glitch.<br>
