glitch

Visual artifacts reminiscent of the long gone analog days, and malfunctioning technology, such as blocky corruption and visual distortion.

Please note that this tag is intended for intentional glitches. jpeg artifacts and scan artifacts are unintentional defects. Also note that simply the appearance of digital squares may be an indication of digital dissolve rather than an actual glitch.

Sometimes used creatively as a means of censorship (see glitch censor), or as a primary element in making artwork (see glitch art).
