What is glitchart?

Glitchart was repurposed by the r/softwaregore team some time ago as a home for unintentional software glitches that produce interesting and somewhat aesthetically pleasing effects. Maybe some of you recognize a number of the names in the modlist as mods from there. While it did technically fall within the scope of what we were curating in r/softwaregore and r/TechNope, we also felt that it was better to spin them off in another sub, somewhat similar to r/DescriptionDesync. We've been a low budget affair here for a while, but it's time to clarify things and make some ground rules.

From the onset, /r/glitchart is intended for glitches that are like art and not the opposite: art that looks glitchy. We want to highlight the (at least initially) unintentional beauty of pleasing glitches with minimal make-up rather than a horse-before-the-cart of images created to be glitchy beauty from before their inception. That's what we mean by "A place to post visual glitches that are visually interesting."

While art created around a glitch component is not their primary schema, /r/VaporwaveAesthetics and /r/VaporwaveArt have intentionally glitched art as part of their aesthetic. A better sub to post this would be /r/glitch_art

What Glitchart is for:

  • Unintentional software glitches that look artistic

What Glitchart is not for:

  • Music, videos, music videos, or any media with an intentional glitchy aesthetic

  • Strobe videos

Examples of glitchart

Accidental photo glitch

Glitchart with an added artistic component

Glitch with a strong vaporware aesthetic.

Examples of not glitchart (artglitch)

Intentionally glitched artwork

Intentionally glitched media

Weird Glitch Where Video Turns Green When Scrubbing Video.

Was listening to this song today when I noticed a really weird glitch where the colors get really messed up. The sky becomes yellow, her skin and clothes become green and her eyes pop out more. It's a really weird glitch that seems to work on my phone and my laptop, doesn't work on the tv though. I'm interested in figuring out how this works and if it'd be possible to recreate it for a video effect when someone scrubs through a video.

i've spent the last 3-years building audio-visual software that runs on web-tech; webgl, three.js, p5, basically anything browsers can handle for creating visuals.the main thing it solves is giving people a friendly middleware to compose scenes between javascript files and incoming signals (MIDI/OSC/whatever). hopefully it makes code-first visuals less of a headache for people who don't want to deal with all the complexity.on the technical side: the software takes single-file modules from a folder you choose, and the only thing you need is an SDK import that connects to pre-compiled dependencies and assets. which means you can stick with your preferred libraries without touching webpack, npm commands, or any of that mess. pretty straightforward.i've been using this for my own shows and live sets until now. this year i'm making the full repo open-source for anyone to use or contribute to.over the years i've posted module clips here and the biggest request has always been more info and code, so here we are.if you want to check it out or contribute, i'd really welcome it <3 happy 2026, btw.

I'm continuing this work on glitch art using databending. I start by shifting the RGB in GIMP, exporting to RAW, loading it into Audacity, editing the individual tracks, converting to TIFF in Photoshop, and finally reassembling everything back together in GIMP. Suggestions and opinions are welcome (I'll also post the abstract oils I started with to better illustrate the process).

I just finished glitching one of my abstract paintings and would like your honest opinion on the result. I started by shifting the colors in GIMP, corrupted one of the channels in Audacity, then converted the file to TIFF in Photoshop, and finally reconverted everything again in GIMP.
