Glitch is the Soul in the Machine
Glitch is the Soul in the Machine was an international exhibition showcasing emergent forms of new media art that playfully reveal the way digital technologies influence our perception of reality even as they corrupt the practice of everyday life. If, as conference exhibition curator Mark Amerika suggests in his “Glitch Ontology” manifesto-performance, “Glitch is the soul in the machine,” then how do works of contemporary art reveal what is broken, dysfunctional, hacked and cracked in our information-saturated culture?
The Glitch is the Soul in the Machine exhibition coincided with the annual International Digital Media and Arts Association (iDMAa) conference, to be held on the campus of Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota, from June 24-27, 2021. The exhibition then traveled to the Minneapolis College of Art & Design and was on view from September 20th–October 1, 2021. This exhibition features works by artists around the world and was free and open to the public at both venues.
