RE: Subcultures and Social Trends: Glitch Art, Circuit Bending and Pixel Drifting – The Evolution of Art in the Digital Age
Interesting take on glitch art benefiting from the commoditization bubble. There are certainly a number of artists pushing the envelope and ended up with some key signatures, but that's really out of probably like a gazillion glitch art being made on a daily basis, so disposable that you get numbed by them after scrolling through a dozen.. but I like it that anyone can just experiment with the many different glitching methods, and they're not really set in stone so it's pretty fun to do :)
I came across the subculture quite by accident, then when I read about what circuit benders were doing, I got interested. I thought the history of glitch art was pretty killer also with it's links to the Dada movement in World War I. After our chat a couple days a go, I hope you enjoyed this piece on glitch art. At some point, I plan to touch on Vapourwave and some related subcultures.
Pretty killer things happening in modern art.
I am fascinated by the Fluxus movement and Nam June Paik. It seems like his work has had some impact on glitch art.
I have run across another subculture of visual art and music using oscilloscopes and laser art. I see that this circuit bending, oscilloscope, laser work seems to be used in music and dance venues where you have visual effects to go with the music.
