Glitch within art and its evolution

The focus of this paper is the development of art that implements technological error, known as glitch. It covers the whole spectrum, from the musical origins of glitch up to its contemporary multi-disciplinary state. This paper does not omit a mention of the theory of glitch and its wider importance within the frameworks of culture, society and the history of art. Glitch is, due to its essence, dependent on the technological conditions at the time of its creation, which means that this paper also includes a description of established methods of using the disruption of data flows as well as the results of such interventions. Nonetheless, what follows is a description of the basic groundwork of such methods and an outline of their inner principle that one can find in the contemporary new ways of understanding and using glitch. This work thus mainly focuses on the history of glitch rather than its new forms, however it concludes by a description of the assimilation of its aesthetics, more than its principles, by mass culture, which brings a shift in its aesthetic function in specific popcultural contexts
