The VR artwork Glitch emerges at the crossroads of cyberfeminism, post-human philosophy, and Glitch Feminism. The artwork utilizes a scale glitch and lack of physicality in the VR program Tilt Brush. Finding the power and potential in this glitch allows the viewer to experience a new type of liberation. This liberation occurs where least intended and shows ways to embody posthumanism to create spaces for care and potential. The project considers ideas first examined in the scholarship of Donna Haraway and Legacy Russell and questions how futurology, ethics, and justice intersect in the Anthropocene era. Through the audio and actions of the viewer, traditional narrative structures are countered, allowing for optimism, speculative fiction, fabulism, and hope. This work is in the collection of RadianceVR, Berlin, Germany, and was acquired in 2021.
