Any thing

Next week, actually this coming Monday, I will be re-firing my PhD on digital artifacts in London. I am looking forward but I also feel anxious,,, ...I need to pull a lot of threads together (this might also be why there have been so many posts on my blog the last week). So how did I get here? ..Quick recap time! In 2005 I first saw Untitled Game (1996), when I visited the exhibition World Wide Wrong (a solo exhibition by jodi.org at  Montevideo ). The work sparked my interest but also many questions. I wanted to understand it and in February 2006, I decided to write my final thesis on jodi. 5 months of intense research later, my thesis got graded an 8,5 and I graduated. The last years I have been trying to translate and rewrite the thesis into English. Now six years later, some parts feel kind of naive and under developed.

This is what we tried to reflect in the website.  GLI.TC/H is about community (gathering teh glitch wwwebz IRL), education + sharing (chatting media/digital literacy + politics + theory && sharing art/work + ideas + techniques) ++ with a focus on accessibility (inclusivity, transparancy, free pizza, openness) and experimentation.

The four days will be divided up into participatory ‘threads’ (think classes) with different focuses, lead by ‘thread-leaders’ and panels/presentations (see call for thread leaders + panels/presentations below). All day-time GLI.TC/H attendees will be thread-participants, not only consuming/experiencing glitch works/ideas but also producing (on site) experiments/collaborations whic...
