In-between manifesto
1. We are not goal-oriented
2. We react to the Spirit of our Time
(Zeitgeist)
3. We celebrate the perceived accident
[via the destructive qualities of the void]
4. We make meaning through our imagination
[via the constructive qualities of the void]

the Zeitgeist of Flow
In the in-between manifesto we argue
against:
- The linear approach to life
- A pre-patterned flow of technology
and its content
(Society of the Spectacle)
- The freshness fetish

We celebrate the perceived accident via
the destructive qualities of the void
The void is a lack of meaning:
it is the place where the message of the medium
is destroyed.

l
Hard to define with words that follow a certain
order.
My definition of digital glitch art:
a sign of a break of the conventional flow in a
system, which often results in a perceived
accident (in a technical, social and/or economic
sense.)

Sublime
The sublime is a counter form of aesthetics; a
negative pleasure.
John Dennis 1693
"delight that is consistent with reason mingled
with Horrors, and sometimes almost with
despair"
The sublime is the feeling that something
will happen, despite everything, within this
threatening, disastrous void.

the mist represents

old monarchical
institutions and the
new politicalthought.
