GLI.TC/H 20111AN INTERNATIONAL NOISE && [DIRTY] NEW-MEDIA

EVENT/CONFERENCE/FESTIVAL/GATHERING

Now in its second year, GLI.TC/H gathers a variety of participants+ works + ideas from within glitch/dirty/experimental-new-media artcommunities into a multi-day & multi-format happening consisting ofvideo screenings, real-time performances, workshops, lectures, panels, agallery exhibition and on-going online components.

Thinkers and artists; Makers and breakers converge to celebratetechnological catastrophe. A glitch is a moment known to everyone butenjoyed by few. GLI.TC/H brings together those inspired/curious/provokedby glitches and provides a platform to break things, share thoughts, anddevelop ideas.

GLI.TC/H will include works from over 100 participants from more thana dozen countries and will be taking place in virtual-space at http://gli.tc/h and in real-space from Nov 3 - 6 in Chicago, US; Nov 11 - 13 inAmsterdam, NL; Nov 19 in Birmingham, UK.

Recent writings, works, and experiments in glitch art exemplifythe potential of new-media-art to expose critical links within our(increasingly mediated) digital-culture. Last year’s conference broughta diverse and geographically scattered community together to discussand share their works and ideas in real-time and real-space. Theconversations had and connections made at GLI.TC/H 2010 have continuedto develop virtually over the past year. GLI.TC/H 20111 will collate andcelebrate these glitchy developments in an unstoppable multi-city eventfueled by these chaotic communities and vibrant participants old and new.

Evan Meaney [http://www.evanmeaney.com/] is an american-born scientist

who teaches time-based media design at the University of Tennessee. His

research, curation and artistic practices delve into liminalities and

glitches of all sorts, equating failing data to ghosts, seances and

archival hauntology.

Rosa Menkman [http://rosa-menkman.blogspot.com/] is a Dutch visualist

who focuses on visual artifacts created by accidents in digital media.

The visuals she makes are the result of glitches, compressions, feedback

and other forms of noise. By combining both her practical as well as

an academic background, she merges her abstract pieces within a grand

theory artifacts (a glitch studies), in which she strives for new forms

of conceptual synthesis (synesthesia) of the two.

Jon Satrom [http://jonsatrom.com] spends his days fixing things and

making things work. He spends his evenings breaking things and searching

for unique blips inherent to the systems he explores and exploits. Satrom

teaches a course on Glitch Art at the School of the Art Institute of

Chicago, runs a creative web and video studio called Studio Thread,

performs real-time audio/video, creates colorful glitch-ware, and is

involved in various collective online and offline new-media efforts.
