Museum of Glitch Aesthetics

The Museum of Glitch Aesthetics (MOGA) is the latest artwork by Mark Amerika. MOGA is a transmedia narrative that tells the story of The Artist 2.0, an online persona whose personal mythology and body of digital artworks are rapidly being canonized into the annals of art history. The piece traces the life of the artist and his ongoing commitment to a practice of ‘glitch aesthetics’. MOGA features a wide array of artworks intentionally corrupted by technological processes including net art, digital video art, digitally manipulated still images, game design, stand-up comedy, sound art, and electronic literature. All of these artworks can be accessed at glitchmuseum.com Mark Amerika is a Professor of Art and Art History at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Principal Research Fellow in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Science at La Trobe University, and an ATLAS Institute Fellow. MOGA is a new commission by the Abandon Normal Devices (andfestival.org.uk).
