Cathartic Glitch is a digital culture publication and creative project exploring the intersection of art, media, and digital experiences. The site covers films, games, music, animation, exhibitions, internet culture, New Media Art, and other works shaped by screens, sound, software, images, systems, and performance. Its focus is not only on whether something is good, but on how it is built, how it moves, how it thinks, and how it changes the way we experience the world around it. The blog moves between pop culture and contemporary art because those worlds are already connected, giving the same attention to a video game, a music video, a horror film, a digital artwork, a gallery show, or an internet-born project, whether it appears in a museum, on a console, in a cinema, on a phone, or inside a browser window.
The writing looks closely at structure, atmosphere, style, and feeling. It pays attention to color, pacing, sound, mechanics, interface, performance, composition, glitches, repetition, and visual language as part of what a work is trying to express. When technology is involved, it is treated as material, not decoration. Software, screens, compression, simulation, interactivity, and digital errors can become part of the emotional and artistic experience. The site also follows how ideas move across formats, from experimental cinema into music videos, from video games into fashion, from internet culture into galleries, from animation into live performance, and from underground digital spaces into major releases.
The goal is to write about art in a clear, curious, and open way, without placing one form above another. Some works are massive releases with global audiences, while others are small, strange, independent, or easy to miss, but both can hold important ideas, create lasting images, and change how a viewer, listener, or player understands a feeling. CG is built for essays, short reviews, recommendations, visual breakdowns, and deeper readings of works worth watching, playing, hearing, revisiting, or thinking about differently. It is a place for art that feels constructed and unstable, emotional and artificial, polished and broken, personal and technological.

In the online exhibition Metatopia at The Wrong Biennale, artificial vision no longer promises clarity or objective truth, but becomes an unstable way of reading the world, producing fractured bodies, warped surfaces, and visual spaces shaped by glitches, hallucination, and the breakdown of systems meant to classify, decode, and make reality fully legible.
In the online exhibition Artificial Lines of Flight at The Wrong Biennale, artists use AI to loosen the idea of the single creator, turning images into unstable spaces shaped by prompts, systems, environments, and machine response.
A hole is not only “nothing.” In art, it pulls attention and reorganizes feeling. From the “everything bagel” in Everything Everywhere All at Once to the click-through rooms of The Doughnut (W)Hole, holes become images, interfaces, pauses, and traps. They make edges matter, turn silence into content, and ask what happens when the center refuses to be filled.
Art After AI proposes a simple recalibration: stop asking if the image is real, and start asking what it does. The exhibition treats images as social actors, shaping memory, politics, and desire. It invites viewers to practice skepticism without surrendering wonder.
In the online exhibition Digital Divan at The Wrong Biennale, Iranian artists use AI to move inscriptions, myth, ornament, and fractured selves into new visual forms, treating cultural memory as something that survives through change rather than preservation alone.
At The Wrong Biennale, the online exhibition Coded Feelings explores how digital systems shape emotional life from within. Across works about intimacy, consumption, control, and false promise, the exhibition shows that digital tools no longer simply carry emotion. They now influence how emotion is built, directed, and experienced in everyday life.
