Dawnia Darkstone

Dawnia Darkstone (b. 1990) is a queer, trans new-media artist and curator best known as Letsglitchit. For more than a decade she has bent pixels, ripped codecs, and rewired hardware to turn digital decay into visual poetry. Her glitch-forward practice spans databending, sonification, circuitbent cameras, and custom tools that invite everyone to “break stuff beautifully.”

Dawnia’s work has flashed across Times Square, Tokyo’s Shibuya Crossing, Sotheby’s Glitch: Beyond Binary sale, and Christie’s. She co-administers the 50k-strong Glitch Artists Collective, curates exhibitions foregrounding queer and neurodivergent voices, and shares open tutorials that helped seed a new generation of glitch experimenters.
