ABSTRACT

Glitch may serve as an interruption of the aura of the digital’s illusion of perfection, at the same time, it is countered by the readily reversible nature of the semiotic: in place of destructive noise, the glitch is more often simply a transient limitation that is quickly elided from consciousness following the aura of the digital: non-functional (broken) technology is not engaged critically; it is trashed and replaced.
