Michael Betancourt is a Glitch Art, pioneer who began manipulating digital
errors in 1990. This collection surveys his HD movies.

These movies have shown in film festivals, art fairs, and galleries
internationally, influencing the use of glitches in popular culture (such
as in the title sequence to Amazon's sci-fi program The Expanse).

Going Somewhere is frequently breathtakingly beautiful.... In Betancourt’s
hands, datamoshing becomes a form of cultural resistance. Instead of
utilizing the smooth, illusionistic motion of digital cinema which you
would typically see in a commercial movie theater, he deliberately pulls
apart the codes and exploits its errors to deconstruct the movies and show
us how they do their tricks. He pulls apart the narrative tropes of Sci Fi
at the same time that he literally pulls apart the pictures, pixel by
pixel, creating a radically open form which resists the hypnotic
myth-making of Hollywood. — David Finkelstein

The glitch creates abrupt insertions and interferences, with intrusive
fragments of images that seem out of place or come from other moments,
earlier or later, belonging to the same narrative. Through the failure,
whether fortuitous or induced, the trick is exposed; we still perceive
movement, but we understand that it is only real in our mind. — José Manuel
García Perera

Betancourt's work as a theorist and historian of these digital artifacts
makes this collection of interest to anyone engaged with contemporary
digital art and culture.

There is a Library / Institutional license available.
