Description:

Jon Satrom undermines interfaces, problematizes presets, and bends data. He spends his days fixing things and making things work. He spends his evenings breaking things and searching for the unique blips inherent to the systems he explores and exploits.

By over-clocking everyday digital tools, Satrom kludges abandonware, funware, necroware, and artware into extended glitchy systems for performance, execution, and collaboration.

His time-based works have been enjoyed on screens of all sizes; his Prepared Desktop has been performed in many localizations. Satrom performs, develops, and organizes with I ♥ PRESETS, poxparty, and GLI.TC/H; in addition to executing other initiatives with talented dirty new-media comrades.

 

this event is free and open to the public.
