This research demonstrates glitch art as an emerging type of digital art. The research starts by defining the terminology of glitch, its origins and the philosophy behind glitch art, then moves on to defining different types of glitches and the different characteristics of glitches and means of glitch production. Also, the research demonstrates the historical background of glitch art and how the idea of embracing imperfection was present in different art forms throughout different historical periods, then moves on to the meantime and how glitch art is present in different types of media. And finally, the research demonstrates notable artists that are correlated to glitch art and some of their works. The aim is to find out what it is that drives visual glitch artists in their desire to create glitches and to seek an answer to the question, can the glitch be an effective medium in the ‘pantheon of art forms? While Glitch Music has experienced a greater amount of exposure, other forms of Glitch Art have remained more obscure. Some have not been conceptualized as art at all. This research aims to address this void and its surrounding issues from different points of view.
