JODI's experiments on glitch art included purposely causing layout errors in their website in order to display underlying code and error messages. One such early movement was later dubbed ' net.art', including early work by the art collective JODI, which was started by artists Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans. Shortly after, as VJs and other visual artist began to embrace the glitch as an aesthetic of the digital age, glitch art came to refer to a whole assembly of visual arts. The term glitch came to be associated with music in the mid 90s to describe a genre of experimental/noise/electronica (see glitch music). This video was made by manipulating the Bally video game console and recording the results on videotape.

Early examples of glitches used in media art include Digital TV Dinner (1978) created by Jamie Fenton and Raul Zaritsky, with glitch audio done by Dick Ainsworth. History of the term Example of glitch art, by Rosa MenkmanĪs a technical word, a glitch is the unexpected result of a malfunction, especially occurring in software, video games, images, videos, audio, and other digital artefacts. Glitches appear in visual art such as the film A Colour Box (1935) by Len Lye, the video sculpture TV Magnet (1965) by Nam June Paik and more contemporary work such as Panasonic TH-42PWD8UK Plasma Screen Burn (2007) by Cory Arcangel. Glitch art is the practice of using digital or analog errors for aesthetic purposes by either corrupting digital data or physically manipulating electronic devices.
