Question ID: 102247
I am looking for Digital Art and Artists that are utilizing 
mistakes, artifacts, corruptions, feedback, etc of current digital
techonology. Obviously Video and Audio Feedback are examples of this,
but I'm looking for other ways. I have found one artist who actually
crashes his computer when it is saving an image file then uses the
corrupted visuals from the resulting image to create a new image
(http://www.solargarlic.com). Another method is to xerox something
over and over again to create an abstract collection of artifacts
created by the copy machine. I'm not sure where to begin looking for
this kind of art (all web searches turn up articles about eliminating
digital artifacts), nor am I able to adequately describe what it is I
am looking for, perhaps there is already terminology for this kind of
art.

Hi gin_e-ga,

The term you are looking for is "aleatoric." 

You found it when you discovered solargarlic. 

http://www.artlex.com/ArtLex/a/aleatory.html
Gives a nice definition that helps to explain why this art form is of
interest to artists who are experimenting with stretching the
boundaries of what popular culture defines as "art."

The solargarlic site has links that take you to other sites like:
http://www.neuralust.com/
The artists are listed on the right side. Some interesting work.
Notice that when you hit the back button the main page doesn't always
come up the same. There are some nice images right there without going
deeper into the site.
http://www.joshuadavis.com/ - take a look at some of his "print"
section...

http://www.dantewoo.com/index.html
Dante Woo is not a real name, but is a real artist in the East Village
in New York who has contact info that may be of interest to you.

If you do a search with just aleatoric or aleatoric art most of what
comes up is music related. Not that it isn't interesting, it just
isn't what you want.

Searching

aleatoric digital visual art 

will provide plenty of information for you.

Have fun!
