"My asdfbmp project is short for Asendorf Bitmap and is a combination of structure and chaos, which might well be a definition of glitch in general. I am a pattern lover, and I always look for interesting ways to create them."
Kim Asendorf is a New Media conceptual artist who works across a large area of digital-related art. He loves to transport things from the Internet into the real life and back. His work is very experimental, with generative strategies, physical computing, data and lots of glitch – leading to installations, sculptures, visualisations and abstract geometric art, but also into applications, animated gifs or noisy sounds.

"Brussels is the fracture of several worlds – the Latin world, the German world, the Anglo-Saxon world. Tt is a cheap city in which multiple nationalities live."
Justin Blyth (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
“I see glitch as a break in the ‘normal’, or a deviation from what is expected. Whether it’s in music or art, if something jumps out of place when you least expect it to, that’s a glitch. Glitch keeps things interesting because it retains out attention – things take shape in the least logical place, the last place we would expect to see or hear them.
Rob Sheridan (Los Angeles, USA)
"The approach we wanted to take with the Social Network soundtrack art was to do something that felt connected to the film, but had our own twist on it. For the cover, we had to stick pretty closely to the posters and marketing materials. On the rest of the package, though, we were free to ‘weird it up’ as much as we wanted."
Raphaël Vicenzi (Brussels, Belgium)
I think it is because Brussels is very multi-cultural and at the centre of Europe. It’s easy to get to France from here, or the UK or the Netherlands. It’s not a big city, after all.
Benjamin Gaulon aka Recyclism (Dublin, Ireland)
"A distinction should made between analog and digital glitch. Analog glitch is the result of electrical fluctuations, malfunctions or short circuits (as in circuit bending). Digital glitch, on the other hand, is a way of seeing the code behind a document."
Rogier de Boevé (Hasselt, Belgium)
"Glitch is just an element that I often use in my futuristic artworks. I think it’s part of a new world that we don’t fully understand yet. When most people think about glitch design, they simply think about the imitation of digital errors. When I think about glitch, I interpret it as an alteration of reality."
