What it’s about. A "glitch" is a malfunction in a system. Glitch art takes these errors and uses them as moments of aesthetic revelation. Interruptus is a glitch film, comprised completely of strategically halted downloads of digital videos. These broken files are then transformed into a stunning fugue of abstract texture. (Selected Exhibitions: In Media Res, Glitch Media Theme Week, Dramatic Chromatic, International Video Exchange (US Delegation, Trømso, Norway), GLI.TC/H at The Nightengale (Chicago, IL), GLI.TC/H at STEIM (Amsterdam))
