glitch

Visual artifacts reminiscent of the long gone analog days, and malfunctioning technology, such as blocky corruption and visual distortion. For actual glitches in games, use gameplay glitch.

This tag is for intentional glitches, not unintentional "glitches" such as JPEG artifacts or scan artifacts. The appearance of digital squares may be a type 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).
