GLITCH
from GLITCH
Glitch is a technical problem or malfunction in a computer program. It is also a genre of experimental electronic music and visual art, characterized by images, video footage, and sounds that are the random byproducts of failures in the operation of electronic and digital devices. From skipping CDs, to distorted and jumbled images, to software bugs and system crashes that become complete artworks.
In Glitch, the artist duo and siblings Brothers of Light, Gab (1991) and Elna (1987), delve into the dysfunctional and incongruous encounter that occurred after October 7th, between the painful reality of war and mind-altering substances and psychedelic experiences they had. The faulty meeting of war and psychedelia opened up layers of parallel realities and surreal realms, providing them an escape, catharsis, and relief. In the exhibition, these experiences receive visual expression in murals and two series of works on canvas: Containers and Glitch .
Glitch invites the viewer to step into the siblings’ surreal world, experience the fluid boundaries of reality, and contemplate the existence of parallel realities. Each work serves as a portal to an alternative event and a channel for reflecting on the subconscious and the nature of existence.
