"Glitchmoria" is a video essay that deals with a scenario. In this there is a narrative highway on which fictional vehicles drive. The glitch serves as a philosophical and aesthetic element that characterizes this space. The essay explores various topics related to the Internet and its impact on our lives. It consists of three parts.

The first part shows the birth of the scenario, accompanied by manipulated images and sound effects. Important aspects of the digital age are highlighted. Jane C. Loudon and Tim Berners-Lee are referenced in this argument.

The second part focuses on Suzanne Treister's "Witches 2.0" tarot cards, which cover the history of scientific research, government programs, and countercultures. Tim Berners-Lee and Beeple are seen as actors in this context.

The third part is about creating awareness and fighting tyranny. Tim Berners-Lee is portrayed as someone fighting against political powers and big corporations, while collages in the background illustrate his ambivalence. The video essay ends with an unfinished conclusion because the desired image has not yet fully emerged.
