‘Glitch’ is a video interruption that acts as a digital proxy for today's unsettling US sociopolitical climate. The American flag is used to represent a nation which is politically divided and emotionally charged; and visually swings from moments of clarity to aggressive periods of distortion. The glitch technique is utilized as a warning device, attracting attention, whilst also indicating that something is broken and malfunctioning.
