Friday night was an exhibition at Logan Arcade. Glitch art, experimental games and circuit-bent hardware sat among the cabinets. A glitch game competition ran on a circuit-bent DRUGS™ console. Rob Sheridan made an appearance.

Saturday moved to Night City for talks. They included jonCates on glitch art at the heart of [*Kentucky Route Zero*](https://www.killscreen.com/kentucky-route-zero-act-iv-elegy/), Allen Riley on video as a social medium and RezidualVizualz on ProjectOBJ for the PlayStation 2\. That evening, Chicago Game Space hosted a gathering around the work of Jamie Fenton.

Fenton lives in Chicago and made *Digital TV Dinner* on the Bally Astrocade. The organizers call it the first glitch artwork.

The talks were streamed to MaMa in Zagreb, where they opened the discussion program of the [Fubar biennale](https://fubar.space/?ref=killscreen.com), Oct. 3 to 9\. Two days later, Daniel Temkin taught an esolangs workshop there. Killscreen [wrote about Temkin's esolangs](https://www.killscreen.com/code-is-a-plaything-in-daniel-temkins-esolangs/) in September.
