Each and every day we are growing along with the developing technologies. With it, we have slowly shifted our way of observing things with the invention of new mediums, to view the surroundings more clearly and in a different way. But we are never able to prevent certain hiccup that these devices get prone to, which prevents them from any sort of troubleshooting in the medium. These glitches are sometimes annoying and they are surely to give you a proper headache if you have a bulk load of work to do. But there is another side of it too! 
Glitches are nothing but temporary disruption, which tends to produce highly aesthetic, saturated rainbow images maybe within pixelated video files or streams or in video games. Here in this project I have merely subjected myself to technology and exerted control over it to a certain extent, to produce a piece that has been created under the device’s whim with my intention of what I want to show to the others, in a way of processing the image to a certain extent. I have mainly worked with the screenshots taken when ever my laptop caused a glitch and most of these happened during the time I start watching some movies or videos. 
I believe this theme “Glitch” particularly through all the conflicts and unpredictability, shows us the images created between technological chaos and human balance. I personally believe to create this sort of Glitch Art, one does not have to master the interaction between a sculptor and her sculpture or a painter and his painting, rather these conventional forms allows the artist to take the full responsibility and control in the image making process, till the final product is developed to complete the interaction between the audience and the viewer. This is nothing but an image created from a destruction of a certain algorithm. It is nothing but chaos versus total control. 
What I believe, that this sort of art mainly depends on the audience interaction because references may be drawn to media technology texts, references, aesthetics and the processes involved in the creation of the images. I mainly wanted to engage the audience with complex themes through the images that I have created from the glitches, with narratives and gestures, giving rise to considerable cognitive challenges. The main aim of this project was to use the expression of technology’s ability, to reduce the life size, which in general can’t be mechanized and to shatter all the boundaries between the real life and the screen life. They together coexist in a glitch matrix. 
The best things about Glitches are that they are always changing in the themes, appearance are always set forward for an evolutionary fashion. It may explode or collapse and may even die out but they will always find a way to survive the changes.
