GLI.TC/H was a simple idea that was hatched upon the notion of folks gathering together and engaging/chatting/debating the issues/theories/concerns of failure, systems, art, && glitches.
We were able to realize this gathering last year in Chicago. GLI.TC/H 2010 brought people together for five days of glitchy art, hacking/coding workshops, discussions, screenings, lectures, and realtime audio/video performances. All events were free & open to the public and ended up exposing an extremely diverse, amazingly deep, somewhat quirky community.

Glitch Studies Manifesto

Rosa Menkman | 03 February 2010, 11:56 pm | 2 comments | tags: , , , , ,

glitch studies manifesto Live ft Goto80A glitch is an unintended break of (one of) the many flows within a technological system. It is a wonderful and frightening interruption that shifts a technology away from its ordinary form and discourse. For a moment I am shocked, lost, in awe, asking myself what this other utterance is, how was it created. Is it perhaps …a glitch? But…

Around 2 years ago, the investigations (which have been the longest ever in Sweden) into the Pirate Bay’s presumed copyright infringements began. The scale of the issues at stake in this trial is maybe best summed up by a quote from Peter Sunde: “We know that about 80% of all the traffic on the internet is torrent related. About half…
