Philosophical essay on glitch culture — error, evolution, memes, and the creative force of mistakes.
Life is the result of millions of years of evolution based on mutation. Mutation is a copy error. All living beings are the result of the accumulation of errors. Mutation is good for the species.
Human beings are subject to the replication of memes — units of information that parasitize our minds. In computers, error used intelligently adds a new dimension. Celebrating mistakes with emotion is the foundation of Glitch.
Glitch approaches Dadaism — found objects taken at random. It is appropriationism, it does not respect copyright. Glitch society is pure digitization: zeros as contexts, ones as people. It does not wish to represent reality.
Glitch society is abstract, frivolous, it awakens emotions through smiles. It requires no preparation, it is instantaneous. It destroys the traditional metaphors of the social industry. It allows thinking with greater freedom.
Society is a programming code. Codes are a continuous source of errors. Necessity helps us see the environment differently — it assists us with new visions when chance plays the leading role.
