D+TM #11 & #12 Jon Satrom
This workshop takes a data agnostic brute force approach to bending digital files. By poking and probing everything from “charabia” to structured data, participants will gain insight into the assumptions our devices are making for us, how algorithms shape our data and how politics shape our algorithms. A mesh of glitch ethics underlies the popularized glitch aesthetic. Provoking glitches can allow for deeper understandings of compression, distribution, and digital agency. Kludgy tips, quirky tricks, and hidden easter eggs will be shared, experimented with and celebrated in this workshop.
