In this doctoral research, I examine how a disruption within a system — a glitch — can be understood not merely as a technical malfunction, but as a creative strategy that enables the emergence of new ways of thinking and helps to overcome creative barriers.
In this research, I focus on site-specific performance as a structure, along with the everyday routines, logics, games, and the body connected to the site-specific place, Balti Jaama Market. As part of the preparatory work for the “Spatial Hiccups”, I embodied the roles of a vendor, a customer, and an observer at the Baltic Jaam Market, which allowed me to gain deeper, site-specific knowledge of the place.
As an artist, I sometimes perceive myself and my actions as a kind of glitch within society—an unexpected or unconventional behavior within an established structure. Therefore, I also aim to conceptualize glitch as a possible artistic attitude toward engaging with the world. I am like a gold tooth, a bone fracture, or a hiccup—an unexpected glitch that occurs within the structure itself.
