The generator is not able to extend curves or to shuffle letters in words, or change the order of lines. This palimpsest erases textual surface and populates it with new artifacts, not unlike Tom Phillips in his “Humument�, raising important questions about the nature of literariness, textuality and relationship to code, convention and visual modes of expression. Superficial glitch is far from Beckett and Federman, but it has the most significant impact in the world of likes and shares, it is copy and paste friendly and has a potential of spreading like a virus on social networks. As such, it often functions as an identification mark of the glitch art in general, which is itself is quite remarkable, given its textual nature.
