Mark Amerika's recent post on "glitch aesthetics" points to his over ten year interest in intentionally hacking into software codes, visual codes, literary codes, etc.
Perhaps the most obvious example of Amerika's use or employment of The Glitch is in his CODEWORK series of VJ paintings. These are not really paintings per se, as Amerika uses digital video and VJ software as well as 5.1 surround sound to create something like an immersive synaesthetic experience. But Mark does refer to a lot of VJ-inspired video work as "painting" or in the tradition of painting. We think you can see it in his net art works too, especially FILMTEXT. Amerika employs unique handheld techniques with his recent feature-length works too and these unusual "gestures" also create glitch-like effects. See the remixes for an example.
Long live The Glitch!
