Glitch Ecologies
unbecoming glitch: glitch is about working outside of its own categories, generalizing itself - not becoming, but unbecoming; moreover it can be unsightly, not simply in the sometimes true "transgressive" manner, which is a conceptual possibility that always stands as an ideal pillar of the movement, but for its folk-oriented dissemination - the complaint of the glitch hater is not solely its ugliness but the continual unenjoyable variations and repetitions it encourages - glitch art is ugly and its boring - or for the fan, it is unconcerned with adorned aesthetics (or interested in exploring unadorned ones) and it is interested in community art, socially-driven art and creating new dialogues within these spaces about given social issues.
