Glitch art

Animated example of what a glitched video can look like, by Michael Betancourt (Mae Murray in a screen test)

Glitch art is an art movement centering around the practice of using digital or analog errors, more so glitches, for aesthetic purposes by either corrupting digital data or physically manipulating electronic devices. It has been also regarded as an increasing trend in new media art, with it retroactively being described as developing over the course of the 20th century onward.[1]
