When using digital technologies, many types of dysfunction can occur, ranging from hardware malfunctions to software errors to human ineptitude. Many new media artworks employ various strategies of dysfunctionality in order to explore issues of power within societies and culture. Robert W. Sweeney examines how digital artists have embraced the concept of the error or glitch as a form for freedom – imperfection or dysfunction can be an integral element of the project. In this book, he offers practical models and ideas for how artists and educators can incorporate digital technologies and integrate discussions of decentralized models of artistic production and education.
Robert W. Sweeny, Ph.D., is Professor of Art Education at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, USA. His research publications are primarily in the areas of digital technology in art education, digital visual culture, digital games, data visualization and mobile digital media.
