I’ve been thinking a lot about distortion lately, and the glitch movement. I very much enjoy glitch pop music, and I’ve noticed that although the artist will maximize digital quality, there commonly exists an atmosphere of low fidelity. Poor quality in music is fundamentally different when comparing analog and digital. The existence of noise and feedback have become a staple for lo-fi and glitch pop, amongst other movements.
Does glitch art necessarily have to exist in the realm of digital creation? We see works such as deformed furniture openly celebrated. However, we are celebrating an analog imitation of a digital deformity. If I caused my printer to paper-jam and mangle my print, it is an entirely new aspect of distortion. Should it be encouraged or is it a flaw that we shame?

More thoughts on glitch art:The majority of the glitch art on tumblr emphasizes the familiar distortions found in analog...
