Glitch Art is an art form that is really trying to "find the soul" of the computer. This video talks about what Glitch Art is and how you create it. I thought this was extremely cool because it gives you a whole new perspective about how the computer works. In this form of art you tend to 'break' or mess with files to create a new version of that file. If you understand why and how you are breaking it, you will get a better understanding of how it works.
One example of Glitch Art I liked that the video talks about is taking an audio file like an MP3 and changing it into a RAW file. Then open up that RAW file with Photoshop and you will see a visual representation of the audio. It simply takes all the data stored from the MP3 file and shows it as a RAW file opened in Photoshop.
Another really cool and simple way to force a glitch and create Glitch Art is to take an image file, lets say a JPG. Open the file in a text editor and there will be a bunch of meaningless data that you will not be able to understand. Delete some portions of this data and than open the file back up as an image. What you see will be a weird version of the original image. This is a cool way to edit files without knowing what will happen. If you can understand that what you deleted caused that 'glitch' than you can get a better feel for how the computer works.
