A "glitch" usually fixes itself in the amount of time it takes for it to be noticed in the first place, whether as a scrambled cable television delay, a page-loading error on an internet browser or a jumble of pixels on an ATM interface. Glitch: Designing Imperfection consists of over 200 glitch images grabbed, composed and provoked by artists who present these complex fragments of color and lines as thought-provoking mistakes that merit being considered in an aesthetic sense, no matter if as art or as advertising. Artists like Angela Lorenz, O.K. Parking and Karl Klomp muse about what glitches mean to them. The images and text in Glitch capture the fact that no one can deliberately make a mistake, although mistakes are often the greatest sources of inspiration.

I agree with a previous reviewer that it would be better 'to have brief case studies for each visual image over artists interviews as an introduction.' But visually it's one of the best books I have. But I'm an artist and see things may be differently.

"Glitch: Designing Imperfection" is definitely for those with an acquired taste...and thankfully the authors acknowledge that reality. This unique book explores the visual concept of glitches as visual art. An interesting premise for a general graphic design audience yet mildly compelling with the uneven collection of examples presented. (Digital artists or interaction designers on the other hand, may find it inspiring for non-commercial endeavors or for arts-related usage.) Highlights include the colorful cover design, Q&A with various artists to support their cause and the beautiful choice in typography (Taz III by LucasFonts). Would have preferred to have brief case studies for each visual image over artists interviews as an introduction. (More information on the book can be found at: [...].)
