screen glitch
Visual rendering error
A screen glitch is a visual anomaly or distortion on a display—flickering, tearing, artifacting, or frozen pixels that shouldn't be there.
The term covers both hardware malfunctions and software bugs that corrupt what appears on screen: My monitor started doing this weird screen glitch where half the display goes green.
In gaming and digital art, screen glitch aesthetics are sometimes deliberately recreated for visual effect.
