Life’s a Glitch – work in progress

LIFE’S A GLITCH

With special thanks to Mr. Karl Albrecht Kubinzky, for kindly sharing segments of his rich archives with me.

 

By definition, a glitch is a malfunction or a short-lived fault in a system, that usually corrects itself very quickly and therefore is hard to troubleshoot.
During my artistic research dedicated to the city of Graz, urban mapping, old archives and exploring the memory and the spirit of this particular place, I faced much more poetic meaning and significance of this phenomenon. A slip, a slide, a disturbance in an already well established daily routine, a “glitched” day resulted in a series of digital works exploring the moments in history that took the wrong turn or fell out of the usual path. A malfunction in a “life system” sometimes leaves us with a permanent result of a temporary glitch. Images are representing segments of the history of Graz, an aestheticized view of “glitched” moments. A glitch of a glitch. This work is still in progress.
