Electronic Glitch Artwork Made by 'Weirdos Within the Weirdos' (Video)

Jake Elliott and Jon (not Elwood) Cates are the ones who describe Glitch Art people as 'weirdos within the weirdos' in the context of Notacon 9, which was recently held in Cleveland. It's 'an annual event that focuses on people who like to build, make, break and hack stuff,' and even in the Notacon context the Glitch Artwork crowd stands out. Sit down with Jake and Jon and share their joy in working with "feral glitches... before they are domesticated," and see some of the output from artist Dave Musgrave's circuit-bent consoles.

I agree can I get my 7 mins back please ... they could of played more stuff and talked over it if they wanted

I learned a long time ago: if you see a video on a slashdot story, don't bother watching it. It's always either some amateurish crap, or some marketing brochure, or some dweeb(s) having a circlejerk and telling you how great they are because they got their ugly faces on a Slashdot page. It's never something that a video or presentation is the best way to express. It's always something you'd rather read yourself in 30 seconds. In fact 10 seconds of reading comments will tell you more than 10 minutes watching the idiotic videos.

Anyway, I guess this artsy-fartsy stuff will appeal to the Applequeers and Macfags. I can see them now. They will read this. They will self-identify and they will know I am right. That will make them mad because they think they're so unique, individual, and unpredictable. They will get mad at me for being wrong about that. They will have their revenge the only way they know how: by wasting a mod point on this post.

Dunno which is funnier, an enraged Macfag or a dorky Slashdot editor who has infinite modpoints and thinks everything should always be G-rated or else Mama will come all the way down to her basement and tell him what a naughty boy he's been. One of those giving me a mod-down would really truly hurt my feelings. Here is my sad face :-(. Yup you clicked a button, you sure did show me you did! Man, if only I could guarantee everyone their right to never be offended, spending all day searching for posts with the word "nigger" and for posts that don't fit the groupthink so I can infinitely mod them down to -1 Overrated, clicking those mod buttons all day, man oh man that would be real power, then finally I would be SOMEBODY! That would really show 'em! Right admins?
