In the glitches, inefficiencies, and errors that ergonomics and usability engineering strive to surmount, Peter Krapp identifies creative reservoirs of computer-mediated interaction. Throughout new media cultures, he traces a resistance to the heritage of motion studies, ergonomics, and efficiency, showing how creativity is stirred within the networks of digital culture. ]]> Wed, 23 May 2012 09:46:17 -0700 http://monoskop.org/log/?p=4169 The return of art manifestos http://www.arterritory.com/en/texts/articles/795-the_return_of_art_manifestos//arterritory-the-return-of-art-manifestos-articles-texts The Return of Art Manifestos...

When most people use the term GIF today, however, they mean it as shorthand for animated GIFs. Animated GIFs are synonymous with the Internet's mid-'90s, pre-Flash era, when individuals and major corporations alike festooned Web sites with flickering borders, banners, and graphics, all playing on tight, endless loops. More recently, animated GIFs became key chintzy… ]]> Tue, 17 May 2011 02:46:40 -0700 http://www.slate.com/id/2270819/ Gif art without the glitch http://designmind.frogdesign.com/blog/cinemagraph-stillness-with-a-twist.html I admit it. I'm a junkie for animated gifs.

The animated gif has a deservedly mixed reputation. It's a vestige of the early web, a grainy reminder of badly animated banners ads or captured weirdness, 7-8 frames with a limited palette and abrupt transitions. However, like many other old media formats it's remerging, more refined, grown-up and with a new purpose in life. And, as with records, film and other old/new media, obsolescence has been freeing, allowing the gif to exist in a way that's as, if not more, interesting than the way it was originally used. ]]> Mon, 25 Apr 2011 17:07:53 -0700 http://designmind.frogdesign.com/blog/cinemagraph-stillness-with-a-twist.html Infinite Glitch.com http://infiniteglitch.com/ Every day an incomprehensible number of new digital media files are uploaded to hosting sites across the internet. Far too many for any one person to consume. Infinite Glitch is a stream-of-conciousness representation of this overwhelming flood of media, its fractured and degraded sounds and images reflecting how little we as an audience are able to retain from this daily barrage.

Infinite Glitch is an automated system that generates an ever-changing audio/video stream from the constantly increasing mass of media files freely available on the web.

Inherent in glitch art is a denial for codification. Attempts to [con/de]fine this phenomenon, which by it’s very nature will always be in flux, can be easily dismissed as futile. At the same time glitch art is something specific: Bob Ross’ mountain ranges is not glitch art – Cory Arcangel’s Data Diaries is.

From music into art into politics….
Why? As a synonym of avant-garde: noise as the unexpected, the dissonant and dissident. Its transgressiveness, which is mostly philosophical, has been misunderstood as subversion, a rule-breaking.
Noise is defined in opposition; to meaning, to sound, to music, and, even to noises. But once claimed in its own right, it is more of a parallel universe where it is hard to find transgression, or make it happen.
As noise is not about just finding noises and playing them. That is noise becoming music.

"The cinema can, with impunity, bring us closer to things or take us away from them and revolve around them, it suppresses both the anchoring of the subject and the horizon of the world... It is not the same as the other arts, which aim rather at something unreal or a tal. With cinema, it is the world which becomes its own image, and not an image which becomes world."
