Description | [extract] At a moment when, superficially at least, the compositional powers of digital systems appear able to emulate those of any human artist—with concomitant arguments as to whether their outputs are truly ‘creative’ or merely excavations of the human cultural archive—Glitch Poetics demonstrates the value of crafted disruptions that will prove instrumental in short-circuiting these reductive associations for both artist and machine. In championing the possibilities for meaning in texts that speak to digital conditions but are irreducible to them, Glitch Poetics highlights the role of future art in exceeding the capacity of technical systems to subsume errors of playful misuse, and thus, the inherent generative potentials of unknowing the digital. |
