Abstract

The research background of this paper is based on the cyborg perspective. This paper studies the great changes in global artistic creation triggered by the excessive expansion of technology. Based on the popularity of electronic art represented by glitch art, this paper explores the relationship between the popularity of glitch art and the awakening of individual and social resistance consciousness, as well as the influence on artists’ creative actions. In this study, a literature analysis and access method were adopted, and relevant information was consulted on Google Academic and JSTOR or other platforms. Meanwhile, relevant fault artists were consulted on social media, and research data was obtained. In the creation of glitch art, glitch artists express their spiritual views of the Mountain Breakers with pictures of human errors and system invasion. They extend their thinking of cyborgism by opposing the Internet invasion, that is, the mechanical control over people’s bodies, behaviors, and even souls. While creating with different media is also a process of resistance, it was a silent but powerful voice of resistance. And through the research, this paper also found the fault art and posthumanism there are numerous philosophical relations.
