Ecology and Glitch

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.


postscripts:


ecology and glitch;

failure of the environment;

failure of bodies;



Sask artist - taking the parameters of live video - performed video - video fed through audience interaction and out through content;
like a social media performance - adjusting based on the audience;


the personal performance;


shawne - lowfi, distorted, feminist/racial, embodied in a radical sense;

cates - ultra-lowfi, humanist, unapologetically embodied (radically in its general acceptance) - concept, politics, subtle humour
- as a curator, minimalism meets glitch meets
- as an academic: creative/digital language, poetic approach, participatory approach


glitch as a social cause - the inception of folk lit;  the inception of environmental literature;  the inception of embodied literature (or art)


soil media - sulllied technology and earth technology - technology on the earth, of the earth and having to re-relate itself to the earth

Radical Science and New Ways to Think About Knowledge

By
In a world that is rapidly changing—where new technologies, environmental crises, and societal challenges continuously shape our future—how we think about science, knowledge, and creativity must evolve. Enter radical science : a groundbreaking approach that blends scientific inquiry, artistic expression, and technological innovation to solve global problems in bold, interdisciplinary ways. But what exactly is radical science, and how does it differ from traditional science? This article explores the concept of radical science and why it’s becoming a crucial framework for understanding the complexities of our modern world. What is Radical Science At its core, radical science represents a departure from traditional scientific methods that typically segregate art, technology, and science into separate spheres. Radical science integrates these disciplines, encouraging collaboration between scientists, artists, engineers, and philosophers. It challenges the conventional belief that scientif...

Pascal and Laplace: Probabilities of the Divine and Divine Probabilities

By
  Pascal's Wager is the opportunity for a mathematician turned theologian to justify their view of cosmic order in the mathematical ways they've come to know.  What's the pay off if you're right and what's the pay off if you're wrong.  If the pay off for being right far outweighs that for being wrong, should we out of principle take the wager? Ask Laplace and we have a different framing.  Now probability has replaced the divine role so the aspect of choice has been eliminated.  Probability no longer informs a bet on divine order, divine order is a subsidiary part of probability.  Laplace's famous demon is not an impossible gambit on an all-controlling deity as popularly assumed, but a thesis that cosmic order can be predicated by sheer mathematical analysis.  Pascal's world still contains Christian state law, but Laplace's does not.  How do we culturally bind people without such moral institutions? It turns out fairly easily.  We don't need t...

Bridging the Gap: How Art Can Help Us Understand Science

By
  Science can be intimidating. Whether it’s the abstract equations of physics or the complex biological processes that govern life, many scientific concepts can feel distant and inaccessible to the public. But what if there was a way to make these ideas more tangible, relatable, and easier to understand? What if art could bridge the gap between complex science and the general public? In recent years, the integration of art and science has proven to be a powerful tool for not just communicating scientific ideas, but for expanding the ways in which we think about and engage with the world. In this article, we explore how art plays a vital role in making science more accessible, engaging, and emotionally resonant. Through creative coding, digital art, and speculative design, art provides a new lens through which we can explore the wonders of the natural world and the mysteries of the universe. Art as a Visualization Tool for Science One of the primary ways that art helps us understand...
