Nonbinary Frequency: A Glitch in the Chain
“The glitch is a form of refusal.” (Russell, 2020) This necklace is a glitch: a refusal of smooth binaries between body and data, matter and code, IRL and URL. Born from a scan of a brooch, edited, printed, and assembled into new constellations, it activates portals through AR objects that are not digital twins, but independent entities. It embodies “error as a generative force” (Russell, 2020), manifesting multiple realities that coexist, entangled and parallel. A soft armor for queer temporalities, it becomes “a new possibility of becoming” (Russell, 2020), carried across collarbones, whispering that there are other worlds, and we carry them. (Glitch Feminism: A Manifesto, by Legacy Russell, 2020, Verso, London, New York)
