Prominent scientists, philosophers, innovators and dolphins suggest we might be living/existing in an artificially generated simulation, a computationally derived landscape.

If they are correct and a giant quantum computer is processing our world and interactions, how would we know if we are 'real' or just algorithms and data?

There might be a way to force or elicit glitches in the system.

Within any program errors often happen during unexpected sequences. And when processing power is devoted to a divergent narrative, visual, auditory or physical disruptions can arise. Glitch the Sim is a cumulative and collaborative effort to force errors into the system, to uncover whether or not our lives are just algorithmic processes in a universe sized computer.

To introduce an error and record the resulting glitches, each week a new task will be released, sequences of action, thought and story. And the more people who follow these weekly sequences, the higher the chance we can glitch the simulation.

The Glitch Tasks will be released on Twitter and this site. And should anyone experience a resulting glitch, attempt to capture the evidence via images, stories and video. The best of which will be published here and elsewhere.
