Subscribe to our mailing list. I have a confession to make: I’m a perfectionist. I hate having a hair out of place and bad grammar makes me cringe. If you know anything about astrology, the fact that I’m a Virgo should say enough. Why, then, devote my practice to randomness, imperfection, and errors? So go ahead, break something. Start a project with no plan in mind. Mash, glitch, mosh, bend, misuse, disrupt, and distort. Mess up some code. Shake up your process. You’ll never know wha...Glitch art works ...

Subscribe to our mailing list. What is a mistake? Some would say it is an action that results in failure, and is therefore to be avoided. This heuristic has one major advantage: it is an easy rule to apply. In practice, however, this approach carries two major risks. Obviously, when we bake a cake, we are uniquely positioned to evaluate our own success. We can judge everything based on how the final product compares the initial intent.
