Hito Steyerl is a leading figure in contemporary digital art, known for her critical investigations into technology, surveillance, and the power dynamics embedded in digital media. Through films, essays, and installations, she explores how images are manipulated and controlled within networks of data and surveillance capitalism. Steyerl employs the glitch as a disruptive tool, using digital distortions, pixelation, and visual breakdowns to reveal the hidden forces that govern visibility and access. For Steyerl, glitches are not just technical failures but disruptions that reveal the fragility of digital control and the influence of technology over perception and reality.
