Platform 101, an independent digital art institution from Iran, is not only popularizing video art but also pushing the perceived limitations of the genre on an unprecedented scale. Together with Glitch.art.br, a glitch art platform from Brazil, they are actively creating a global community of artists who are revolutionizing the current artistic landscape through digital mediums. Glitch.art.br, in collaboration with Platform 101, has just released a new e-book dedicated to the 2023 edition of the Glitch.art.br International Online Exhibition featuring ten artists from Iran.
Glitch.art.br is a Brazilian digital platform that was created by the multidisciplinary artist Cleber Gazana with the goal of promoting glitch art and fostering a community of creatives inspired by its philosophy and aesthetics.
Platform 101’s latest project, which has become part of the new e-book released by Glitch.art.br, presents artworks merging fractal video art and glitch aesthetics. Combining geometry and mythology, Platform 101 artists uncover the secrets of the world, from the creation of the universe to humanity’s place in it. The selection of featured artists was curated by the founder of Platform 101, Mohammad Ali Famori, who also contributed his piece to the exhibition.
