Sotheby’s New York is thrilled to announce Glitch: Beyond Binary, which introduces glitch art as an umbrella term for the many waves and perspectives glitch art can encompass. It presents the genre not just as a procedural or aesthetic practice, but also highlights the diverse groups of artists that make up the glitch art communities. While these occurrences are rarely anticipated and usually unwelcome, glitch artists may in fact intentionally provoke them. Glitch: Beyond Binary showcases the various forms in which glitch artists have used disruption, both in the analog and digital realms, as well as for various forms of political and identity expression. These communities do not just identify as male or female but consist of people from every gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, language, neuro-type, size, ability, class, religion, culture, subculture, political opinion, age, skill level, occupation, and background.
