THE ARCHES THEATRE, MACHINISTA 2004

Thanks to David Bernard and the Machinista crew for the invitation.

Review by category curator Roman Arefiev: 

Glitch art by Tony Scott is based on casual images, appearing from time to time on the monitor, trying to find the sense in corrupted datas and wrong functioning of electronic devices. It is possible to count Tony Scott the author of all these artworks, and also quite allowable to count hardware and software his co-authors. Glitch’s idea is related to abstract of "mistake", but this kind of art doesn’t consist in search of mistakes, but in opposition of "wrongly arising" beauty to pragmatic, which is erected in a rank of the absolute and not criticized law of correct and predicted functioning of electronic devices. Glitch escapes from the circle of logic and predictability, making fortuity the basis for creative process.

I wish I knew what that meant.
