“The glitch makes the computer itself suddenly appear unconventionally 
deep, in contrast to the more banal, predictable surface-level 
behaviours of ‘normal’ machines and systems. In this way, glitches 
announce a crazy and dangerous kind of moment(um) instantiated and 
dictated by the machine itself.” Rosa Menkman, 2011.

Glitches are commonly understood as malfunctions, bugs or sudden 
disruptions to the normal running of machine hardware and computer 
networks. Artists have been tweaking these technologies to deliberately 
produce glitches that generate new meanings and forms. The high-speed 
networks of creation and distribution across the Internet have provided 
the perfect compost to feed this international craze. This exhibition 
shows various approaches by artists hacking familiar hardware and their 
devices which include mobile phones, and kindles. They disrupt both the 
softwares and the digital artefacts produced by these softwares whether 
it be in the form of video, sound, drawing or woven glitch textiles.
