The works of Crash-Stop - Distorted Realities



Rock music - a misuse of military equipment.

Friedrich Kittler




There are certain parallels between rock music and glitch art. In both cases, technologies developed for warfare are used (or, as Kittler formulated, misused), to distort, alienate, twist media into a new, subversive form, until altered media vanishes behind technical noise. Such art can question hegemonic morals, values, and even the dominant image of reality itself.

Crash-Stop often uses propaganda as basis for his glitch art with the defined goal to render the original material abstract and useless. This might tell us something about meaning in general, because no matter whether we can still identify the objects and persons depicted, the thing that remains constant and certain is their inevitable surrender to entropy.
