reFrag: is a symposium exploring new connections between art, culture and technology.

reFrag: glitch gathers together artists working in the international networks of Glitch Art for 4 days of intensive workshops, talks and performances with exhibitions in Paris and online. reFrag: glitch address the multifold ways in which glitches manifest and/or are mobilized artistically in our lives.
