Glitch Studies Manifesto

I found the format and information in this article very interesting and fun to read. The pauses created by the format made for a dramatic reading that you find in manifestos from the futurists but not in the same way as they are physically set up. Like other manifestos, Rosa pushes for change and encourages the artist to dispute the current mind set of glitches as accidents and push them to their full potential as an art form.
" The essence of glitch art is therefore best understood as a history of movement and as an attitude of destructive generativity: it is the procedural art of non con-formative, ambiguous reformations." (Menkman, 6)
Overall I really enjoyed this readings encouragement to push the boundaries of glitch art formally and politically.
