Glitch art

Glitch art is the practice of using digital or analog errors for aesthetic purposes by either corrupting digital data or physically manipulating electronic devices. Glitches appear in visual art such as the film A Colour Box (1935) by Len Lye, the video sculpture TV Magnet (1965) by Nam June Paik and more contemporary work such as Panasonic TH-42PWD8UK Plasma Screen Burn (2007) by Cory Arcangel. From 1981 to 1992 the artist Thomas Lisle worked almost exclusivley in video glitch art to explore the possibilities of paintery abstraction and animation. The Tate modern and Museum of Modern Art NY bought a small book of glitch photos "Aeroplane" and his installations of large scale projections of glitch art were shown extensively in the UK as well as in Holland, Russia and USA. "Pototemizing" is an early example of his work 1983.
