Abstract [en]
This thesis is a qualitative research and design project based on the concept of glitch. Glitch, typically associated with technical malfunctions, is examined here from a philosophical perspective with emphasis on the phenomenological aspect. A glitch in this thesis is seen as beyond an error; instead it is a moment of disruption, a subjective experience that prompt re-examination of our perception. By exploring the notion of glitch, the aim is to discover glitch given form and to challenge conventional design practices. The creative process involved theoretical exploration, qualitative interviews, and model making. Through research and interviews, a series of glitch volumes (X, Y, Z, W) were created based on personal glitch experiences.
