Glitched lit: possibilities for databending literature

Published:25 June 2012Publication History

ABSTRACT

As our attitude toward technology has fluctuated between viewing it as either a benevolent aid or a dangerous threat, the arts have responded with various ways of expressing this anxiety. Glitch art confronts this technological anxiety, and continues the modernist and postmodernist fascination with representation and medium. An extension of remix culture, intentional glitching---or databending---presents an interesting new form for combining narrative and visual art.
