Autorenporträt

Michael Betancourt is a pioneer of "Glitch Art" who has made visually seductive digital art that brings the visionary tradition into the present. Dividing his studio time between working with static and moving imagery, his approach to digital misfunction has set the stage for the contemporary mania for glitch art. Since 1990, he has cultivated a diverse practice unified by a consistent concern for the poetic potential of the overlooked and neglected images made by digital computers-the "glitched" images that are commonly ignored and rejected. By emphasizing their digital origins, his aesthetics encourages the viewer to find poetic meaning in their everyday life. His static imagery primarily displayed on his Instagram account (@glitcharts) links the digital rendering of files to the patterns of wood grain in Japanese woodblock prints of the nineteenth century, reveling in the continuity between contemporary digital abstraction and historical art.
