Our constant search for complete transparency has brought us new, more ‘perfect’ media. Even so, all these media have their own fingerprints of imperfection.
The continuing search for a noiseless channel is no more then a regrettable, ill-fated dogma.
Within Shannon and Weavers model, there are three instances when the static notion of transmitting information is interrupted and that result in artifacts:
Encoding / decoding (compression), Glitch and Feedback
Become a nomad of noise [artifacts]

Glitches inevitably become filters

Glitchspeak (opposing ʻNewspeakʼ: Orwell, 1984.) is not just a new form, but an exoskeleton of progress. The glitch is a new generative form. This is why there is a need for Glitch Studies.
Speak the totalitarian language of disintegration
The role of artifacts in critical media aesthetics is a trans-media aesthetics (not a post-media aesthetics)
* Shows a medium in a critical state (ruined, unwanted, not recognized, accidental and horrendous state)
* Critique the medium (genre, interface and expectations)
