Glitch Generation will focus on the appreciation of imperfections, exploring the fixation on and passion for errors. The curators seek visual art, sound art Installation and/or music performance proposals and video works that are/were created by taking advantage of mistakes, either intentional or found.

BAC Gallery invites all Brooklyn based visual artists, video artists, sound artists and musicians to apply. To qualify you MUST be on Brooklyn Arts Council’s Artist Registry. Any artist living or working in Brooklyn can sign up by clicking Join Site; IT’S FREE. 

• Work created in reaction to an environment that is the result of an interesting error from an unexpected circumstance. For instance, a photograph that has captured the intricate nature of pasted advertisement layers peeling from billboards.
• Artwork may also use (typically) unintentional images as a starting point for its concept or execution, such as the photo paintings of Gerhard Richter whose paintings recreate flaws found in photographs.
• The environment that produces such mistakes may be manufactured, such as manipulating a malfunctioning computer using code to produce a visual or audio glitch.
