Introduction to Digital Media

I enjoyed the videos because of the way they talked about glitch art. Databending can be like stepping out of bounds, stepping out of your comfort zone. Glitch art is not a medium because it's constantly evolving. Most people think of a glitch as a mistake or an error, but this new way, or Glitch Art, does not equal an error or a mistake because it's done on purpose, its deliberate, it's something that you do because you want to see what happens. I think computers define the age we live in, because we are living in a world where we can stay at home, and technology has adapted to allow us to work from home, to shop, to communicate, and bank. Glitch Art is contemporary, it's for today, but it's also for tomorrow. You have control, as a glitch artist, and there's almost nothing that you cannot present. It's a learning experience, and you are gaining digital knowledge. If you stay current with technology, Steve Jobs says you can learn from it, and learn to make your mark on this world. He said if you push something in, it goes out. Glitch Art has a lot going on with it, and Nick Briz presented a lot of information, and it's something you may have never heard of. Glitch Art is something that is a unique form of art, compared to normal art, like painting and drawing, which are seen as gentle, Glitch Art is rough. The Mona Lisa is a great example of gentle art, Glitch Art is not gentle because it's made with code rather than paint. In closing, Glitch Art is a unique form of art it can always be changed. Try that with the Mona Lisa.
