Jeff Donaldson is one of the pioneers of “glitch art” and one of the earliest to apply glitch art, or the aestheticization of digital or analog errors, to textile design. He is perhaps best known for his “Notendo” circuit bending process in which he prepares a Nintendo Entertainment System to intentionally short-circuit by adding wiring to the system’s circuit board. For his “Data Knit” series of scarves, he produces textile renders of patterns generated with software. In this special program, Donaldson will discuss how his work contemporizes the tradition of embedding information in textiles and expands the vocabulary of surface design.
