After reading Rosa Menkman’s Glitch Studies Manifesto, what stands out most is her argument that we should stop viewing technological errors simply as problems that need to be fixed. Instead of constantly chasing the impossible goal of a perfect, invisible interface, Menkman suggests that glitches and digital noise actually give us a valuable peek behind the curtain of our technology. When a system breaks, it interrupts our blind trust and reveals the hidden rules, biases, and flaws built into the software we use every day. I really appreciate how the manifesto frames these moments of technical failure not as a dead end, but as a creative spark, a chance to bend the rules, question the digital systems that govern our lives, and build something entirely new out of the broken pieces.
