“Glitches in Love: A New Formula” will introduce 12 artists from Japan, England, China, Ireland, and Slovenia under the theme of a “New formula of Love”.
We are surrounded by countless forms of love today. When these loves take on new shapes in modern society, will they be embraced or treated as a glitch? In our modern society, those loves and lovers that problematize the inflexible geometries of love can be styled glitches; bugs in the system that society attempts to quash. We welcome those previously scorned by the rigidity of defined love, and radiate love universally. We will look at “glitches” in love that have been neglected by definition, such as queer and other forms of love related to gender identity, self-love, and virtual love, and consider “new formulas” for love in all worlds, including the virtual world as well as the physical world. By focusing on topics that have been placed outside the existing framework of love, and by comprehensively examining these topics, we will explore the challenges and possibilities for the perception of a new formula of love through a global perspective.
