Hehe super. Can you explain how your own glitch art, or glitch art you like,
achieves this? 

Or does it just point to this, as a sort of a signification of intended rupture
(if ever given the chance)?

Curious,

There are other plateaus of immanence besides language (that "exists" in "realms" other than ascii-centric listservs).

There is no such thing as "pre-discursive."  A search for such an element may closely appear to be romantic.
