About
Becoming the glitch is a series of talks about embracing the glitch as a queer mode of expression.
Through a review of my own art practice, I consider the connections between glitch art and queerness, and how glitches can be used in an algorithmic art practice to explore new ways of understanding computational technologies, human experience and gender.
Aside from my own works, the talks also draw heavily upon Legacy Russell's Glitch Feminism. This is combined with examples of my own experience living as a transgender glitch in the welfare state systems of Denmark.
In the end, spectators come away from the talk with a new perspective on the myriad ways in which algorithms, data and computers try (and fail) to understand, represent and work with marginalized bodies and experiences.
