This is a conversation on contemporary thoughts about play in a digital realm. This conversation is titled Glitch, as an aesthetic of the digital age to explore unexpected results of malfunction, especially in the play of video, audio, software and digital practice. Birmingham new media artist and curator Antonio Roberts is in conversation with Mike Phillips, Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts at Plymouth University. Each have a trajectory of practice that includes experimental coding, machine learning and the creation of Live Events with immersive technologies such as performances at algoraves, and both have an experience of working on ground breaking digital art by the late Donald Rodney.
