Glitch is the Soul in the Machine

Dazzle Camouflage, included in the exhibition Glitch is the Soul in the Machine, is currently on view at Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

Glitch is the Soul in the Machine is an international exhibition showcasing emergent forms of new media art that playfully reveal the way digital technologies influence our perception of reality even as they corrupt the practice of everyday life. If, as conference exhibition curator Mark Amerika suggests in his “Glitch Ontology” manifesto-performance, “Glitch is the soul in the machine,” then how do works of contemporary art reveal what is broken, dysfunctional, hacked and cracked in our information-saturated culture?
