That Flavorwire article “A Beginner’s Guide to Glitch Art” was surprisingly cool. Such a wide variety of examples. There’s clearly a lot of potential breadth to the basic idea.
Glitch music and circuit-bending music are well-established genres by now. I was surprised, and happily so, that the article mostly ignored all that, in favor of visual artists. (And the more foundational musical example of John Cage’s prepared piano. The 100th anniversary of Cage’s birthday was just a couple of weeks ago, btw.)
