THE ART OF GLITCH THAT WAS A PRODUCT OF ERRORS, AND AN IMPLEMENTER OF THIS ART FORM IN CERAMICS, CHAD WYS

Abstract

“The word glitch means a minor malfunction or problem that causes a temporary setback. On the other hand, glitch art is a
highly revolutionary attempt that shifts the rhetoric of technological excellence, revealing the significance of human products
and the aesthetics of error.”(Akıl, 2014).
With the popularization of the Internet and the development of social media tools in the 21st century, a virtual world was
created based on digital expression methods that almost everyone possesses. This virtual world revolves around virtual
identities. The emergence of this art movement in such a digital world could not be denied.
Individuals who consider art as a form of expression make impulsive inquiries. Though these impulses, they reveal their art.
For them, change and transformation are inevitable. The glitch art could be described as a reflection of the distortion resulting
from a coding error in the software. When the structure of this distortion is examined, it could be argued that the glitch adds an
aesthetic and destructive narrative to a composition. Along with this expression, the art of glitch is defined as a reorganization
of all structures that seem aesthetic and correct. While conducting interrogations with its destructive attitude, it disturbs all that
came before it and reproduces all. Today, several artists create their works by distorting the structure and producing a brand
new meaning. The present study aimed to discuss glitch art based on the works of Chad Wys, who is one of the above-mentioned
artists.
