Glitch Portrait

i am a construct

designed by the social paradigms, values, and ideals

constantly defined, and redefined, by a language that determines my social relations, my thought processes, and my understanding of who and what i am

manufactured by images of late stage capitalism and war

produced by a set of cultural practices and values that characterise my perceptions as a series of preferences, dispositions, proclivities, and biases.

The fragmented image, the broken code, the data corruption, or the Glitch stands for the rupture or trauma in one’s memory. By allowing the internal resistance to surface not in behaviour, but through a medium that offers a controlled, abstracted release of tension, the Glitch takes shape of a displaced manifestation, an act that mirrors the inherent struggle of confronting and expressing a repressed memory.

Glitch actively resists the institutional and corporate mandate for digital perfection and smooth functionality. In celebrating the error, Glitch challenges the authority of the structures that demand flawless interfaces, whether in corporate branding, polished media narratives, or seamless institutional data processing.

Glitch fundamentally resists the logic of the market, which values seamless, consumable content that can be easily categorised, packaged, and sold. It is often non-commercial works that are difficult to categorise, and intentionally disruptive, thus acting as an anti-commodity aesthetic.

Glitch is more than an aesthetic play; it is a deliberate strategy of resistance. It is an assertion of your and my digital sovereignty - a declaration that the underlying code of one's existence will not be clean, legible, or profitable for the system.

i am particularly when viewed through the lens of contemporary art and psychology, is not a fixed, internal core but a dynamic, ever-changing portfolio of roles and narratives. It is the fluid story an individual continuously constructs and performs using my memories and perceptions, adapting them instantly in response to social context, cultural demands, and the pervasive influence of technology. This perspective sees identity as an artistic creation - a constant process of expression, mediation, and redefinition.
