A glitch is an error. An error that is sometimes misunderstood. An error is a trigger, or something that is triggered. Morphological assumptions. Dimensions and materials that are juxtaposed. Nada realmente se parte (Nothing really breaks apart) is situated in a universe in which every error is conceived as a glitch. The glitch as sound, in a feedback or interference. The glitch as an image, on the street, as something dislocated. On a screen, as something broken, distorted.
NADA REALMENTE SE PARTE
NRSP is the condensation of a creative process with no start or end date. It's a transdisciplinary stage exploration in which I aim to compose with glitch, navigating through different times and materialities that carry information. It's a space/time in which all spaces, all times, come together. The most alien, the strangest, the most intimate and autobiographical.
A glitch is a leak, an inexplicable error that does not have a negative connotation.
It positions error as a potential. It reclaims it, resisting the imposition of the insatiable pursuit of perfection. It breaks with the binary of error vs. success, because it is a way of understanding that a mistake is also a success. As Rosa Menkman (2010) says, "A glitch is the marvelous experience of an interruption that distances an object from its ordinary form and discourse."
In the world of glitch art, there's no one way or another of doing or being. Glitches are everywhere: they are the escapes we constantly inhabit. They appear or are embodied in the simplest, most intimate, and everyday forms, but also in the most intricate and complex.
By developing error recall practices, I seek to inhibit the impulse that leads to trying to control it. Let go of control and see what emerges.
I began these practices in 2022 during the research process for my final graduation project, where I gave a name, structure, and depth to this great collage that I feel has accompanied me throughout my life.
