Glitch Art: Epistemology of Failure and Politics of Error (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798266786349)

Aesthetics of Error: An Analysis of Glitch Art between Epistemology, Generativity and Politics

This essay offers a rigorous and systematic investigation of Glitch Art, elevating the phenomenon from aesthetic curiosity to fundamental interpretative paradigm for contemporary digital culture. The work analyzes how error and technological failure become instruments of knowledge, creativity and critique.

The research is structured on three main axes:

1. Epistemological Dimension: It explores how the glitch disrupts perceptual and digital systems, revealing the hidden structures of the medium and forcing the observer into an active role in the construction of meaning.
2. Generative Dimension: It demonstrates how failure is not a limitation, but a generative principle that produces infinite semantic and aesthetic configurations, operating through iterative and self-organizing processes.
3. Political Dimension: The glitch is analyzed as an act of cultural resistance, a micro-politics that destabilizes the illusion of control and democratizes interaction with technology.

Proposing innovative analytical tools and a clear methodology for artistic research, this volume establishes itself as an essential contribution for scholars, artists and researchers in the fields of media studies, digital art and philosophy of technology. A work that systematizes glitch theory as a coherent approach to creation and cultural critique in the digital age.
