Wikipedia says "Glitch art is the aestheticization of digital or analog errors such as artifacts and other "bugs", by either corrupting digital code/data or by physically manipulating electronic devices (for example by circuit bending)".

In a generational way, I consider myself a product of the new media.
I was born in 1984. While I grew up, technology grew with me, especially the Internet and the infinite possibilities of having everything within the reach of a few clicks. I grew up in Argentina, a country that never had any kind of media piracy restrictions. I remember having the possibility to download absolutely everything I wanted, or buy it at the fair in the nearest square. What it is politically incorrect for some for me was the entrance to a bigger and unrestricted digital world of knowledge that I could have ever imagined. That state of digital overdose is an essential point in my life as I was able to loose the respect for the software.
In these early years, I had learned that the software around me did not constitute something closed up in itself, but instead a digital material that could be changed, modified, shared, cracked and mostly broken.
Beyond the beautiful aesthetic features that the glitch art represents to me, artistic practice based on manipulations, remixes, errors and randomness, as an inevitable feature that I have come not without having gone through endless reinterpretations and modifications of digital and analog objects which were constantly changing themselves, trying to unlock the beatiful digital ghost that they have inside.
