glitch art

Aesthetic data corruption

Glitch art is visual art that deliberately incorporates digital or analog errors—corrupted files, broken pixels, distorted signals—as aesthetic elements.

Artists may induce glitches by manipulating code, bending circuits, or exploiting software bugs: She creates glitch art by corrupting JPEG files.

The style embraces malfunction as creative material, finding beauty in technological failure.
