Glitch art is the practice of using digital or analog errors for aesthetic purposes by corrupting digital data or physically manipulating electronic devices. Glitches appear in visual art such as the film A Colour Box (1935) by Len Lye, and contemporary work such as Panasonic TH-42PWD8UK Plasma Screen Burn (2007) by Cory Arcangel.
Glitch Art is becoming increasingly popular & common in the design world lately, even though it's been around for 50 years.

Characteristics of glitch art:
Characteristics of glitch art:
Pixelation
Pixelation
Displaying a bitmap at such a large size that individual pixels are visible, making the image appear blurry.
Light Leaks
Light Leaks
Causing a hole or gap in the body of a camera allowing light to “leak" into the image, resulting in lens flare and washed-out areas.
Double Exposure
Double Exposure
The (typically accidental) superimposition of two exposures over each other, creating a single layered image.
Noise and Grain
Noise and Grain
The appearance of texture in film due to small particles being present in an image, leading to a grainy or poor messy quality.
Color Degradation
Color Degradation
The degradation of color quality in an image, either naturally over time or due to damage from the sun or exposure to elements.
All of these are examples of how photography or digital art can go wrong, but Glitch Artists use these “mistakes” to their advantage to create unique and distinct work.
