State Chicago, IL GLITCH: Creative Problem Creating Curator Jon Satrom in person! What happens when the creative roadblocks ? errors, glitches, accidents ?- become the building blocks in the art-making process? This program highlights artists who intentionally create problems by corrupting data, hacking signals, and manipulating the medium, often to the point of challenging its own display. Curated by new media artist and SAIC faculty member Jon Satrom, tonight?s problem-ridden program gathers together films, videos, corrupted data, hacked TV broadcasts, interactive DVDs, and modified GameBoy tools that revel in failure, rejoice in errors, and celebrate the happy accident. Works include: Line (Siebren Versteeg, 2000), blinq (Billy Roisz 2002), the_future_of_human_containment (Michaela Schwentner, 2001) Film In Which There Appear Edge Lettering, Sprocket Holes, Dirt Particles, Etc (Owen Land, 1965-66), Boomerang (Richard Serra & Nancy Holt 1974), Panasonic AG-77 (Morgan Higby Flowers, 2008), tiedoe (Karl Klomp, 2005), kolobokz (jon.satrom, 2001), Suicide Solution (Brody Condon, 2004), The Website is Down (Joshua Weinberg, 2008), MyDesktop OSX10.4.9 (JODI, 2008), Atari Noise (Arcangel Constantini, 2000), Gameboy UltraF_uk (Corby & Baily 2001-2), Enter The Devil (reMI 2000), 486 Shorts (LoVid 2008); among others. 1966?2008, various directors, various countries,multiple formats, ca 90 min.
