Chandraguptha Thenuwara Sri Lankan , b. 1960
The artist ponders on the inevitability of glitches in systems - the persistence of social and political issues that despite changes in governments - to the act of changing channels and the distortion that occurs when the voltage fluctuates. Glitch+ imitates the distorted images of the television screen as the artist contemplates political amnesia.
The series which continues from Glitch (2016), contemplates the rhetoric of nationalistic ideas, and the need for revived democratic energy and revolution to dispel continuing issues of corruption, political decadence, rising nationalism and religious fanaticism, failing bureaucracy and economic pressure.
