The project has been remixed for Amerika’s solo exhibitions “Gliitch. Click. Thunk” at the University of Hawaii Art Galleres and “GlitchMix: not an error” at Estudio Figueroa-Vives and the Norwegian Embassy in Havana, Cuba. In 2017, the 20 year anniversary of Amerika’s groundbreaking work of net art and electronic literature, GRAMMATRON, was celebrated in London at a two day international symposium titled Beyond GRAMMATRON: 20 years into the Future.
