Summary
Substack essay on the history and aesthetics of glitch art by Lex Sokolin, who is himself a member of the DOS Punks DAO. Max Capacity appears in two contexts: as the founder of DOS Punks DAO (“I am part of a DAO called DOS Punks DAO — founded [by] the glitch artist Max Capacity”), and as the creator of DOS Punks (“It was a similar glitch take that Max Capacity spread out and over CryptoPunks, creating the DOS Punks. The NFTs are on ETH, Tezos, and now Ordinals.”).
The article provides broader glitch art historical context, covering Jamie Fenton’s 1977 Astrocade glitch work, Rosa Menkman, Kim Asendorf (pixel sorting algorithm), Jon Cates, Sabato Visconti (databending/datamoshing), Haydiroket, and Andreas Gysin.
