What is your glitch? 1bitgifavibmpbmpcmykbmprgbjpgmpgpcxpixpngppmsgisvgtgawebp will be screening alongside some more awesomerererer glitch videos at Destructural Video as part of Leeds International Film Festival 2011 on November 17th

Can the electronic stutters, crashes, errors and glitches that we encounter with technology in our day-to-day lives be considered beautiful in their own right? This programme of extraordinary video work showcases contemporary artists who exploit and explore the imperfections hidden in the signal/ data structures of moving image technology to striking effect. Recalling early video art experiments and key films from the Structural movement, these sometimes abstract but always emotional videos ultimately reveal the human qualities inherent in the technology we have created, electronic warts and all.

This free screening will take place at Granary Wharf at 20:30. Be there or be q̢̘͔̖͎͕̗͓͓̩͇͕̳̪̟̱̟ͯ͂͐͛̐͊͝ͅu̷ͮ̽͌̄ͪ̔̑̕҉̥̜̭̠̮͔̱͍̬̯̞ͅa̡̨͊̎ͩͮ̀ͭ̃̓ͯ̿ͧ̃ͦͨ́̚̚҉̝̤͈̻̮̪̳̠̟͈̖͔̪̼͔ŗ͚̜̦̘̥̪̟̳̈̈́͐̓̌̇̔̎̈́͋̀͞ȇ̢̜͖͕̖̥̰̝̪̖̥͓̭͖̫̈̏̄̔ͅ

GLI.TC/H presents screenings of corrupted, glitched and damaged videos as a preview of GLI.TC/H 2011 at Flip Festival in Wolverhampton, UK on 29th October. This free screening will take place at 9:30pm in the Atrium of Lighthouse Media Centre (FB event link)

Featuring videos from the likes of idrioema, a.billmiller, minuek, KOKOFREAKBEAN, and more!

Established in 2004 Flip is an eclectic mix of all things animation. Based in the heart of the Midlands the festival provides a wide range of experiences from educational workshops for young people to experimental animation for grown ups; from industry led panels to feature film screenings and from international showcases and retrospectives of short films to spotlights on animation studios.

GLI.TC/H will be coming to Birmingham, UK, on November 19th! Look out for more news soon!

In Middletown, Connecticut between November 4th-6th? Alvin Lucier: A Celebration, is taking place at Wesleyan University’s Center for the Arts. I Am Sitting in a Room, along with other videos that respond to Lucier’s work of same name, will be screening at the Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery.

This festival, in recognition of Alvin Lucier’s 80th birthday, will include an exhibition, symposium, films and a series of four concerts. The symposium will bring together key composers, musicians and writers to discuss Mr. Lucier’s work and influence.

[…]

Alvin Lucier (and His Artist Friends) is a broad overview of the composer’s distinguished career over nearly six decades. This exhibition will explore the nature of Mr. Lucier’s engagement with artists such as John Cage, Sol LeWitt, John Ashbery, Italo Calvino and Lee Lozano. Related works by some of these figures will be juxtaposed with the compositions they inspired. The exhibition will also make the first in-depth exploration of the broad influence of Mr. Lucier’s work I Am Sitting in a Room (1970). Nearly two dozen audio presentations of his compositions, along with a number of performance videos and an interview with Robert Ashley will be featured. Numerous notated and text-based scores, a select group of artifacts from earlier performances, and an extensive variety of archival memorabilia documenting Mr. Lucier’s career to date will be on display. An installation version of Mr. Lucier’s Chambers (1968) realized as a tribute by former students and colleagues will complete the exhibition.

In addition to whatever else I do with the time instead of sleeping/eating I also help to organise Birmingham Zine Festival. It started in 2010 as the result of people who make - or in my case, read - zines coming together with a few ideas. We had our second festival in June 2011, which was really well attended and was great fun all around!

Supersonic Festival has invited Birmingham Zine Festival to hold an exhibition and stalls of zines and artwork at their festival this year. For this we invited some of our favourite small press publishers from the previous festivals including Adam Cadwell, Carla Smith, Lizz Lunney, Catherine Elms, Dina Kelberman, Joe List and many more.

There’ll also be a screening of ‘$100 and a t-shirt’, Joe Biel’s documentary exploring the thoughts and experiences of zine-makers in North America, and a panel discussion - from A to Zine - Featuring Alex Zamora of Fever Zine, Nic Bullen, formerly of Napalm Death and Charlie Woolley. The panel will discuss the history of zines, their inspirations and the resurgence of zine culture.

If you haven’t done so already, get your tickets for the festival! We’ll be there on Friday and Saturday all day. Come and say hi! Bring cake :-P
