Glitch Art. When software fucks up, their display on-screen sometimes goes with them. Beflix finds the art in these glitches, and in all kinds: glitchy circuit design printouts and electron scans, for example.

Cool site. I used to do some collages with highly-compressed Windows Media Player oddities in the background (self-link).

Cool! I made some accidentat glitch art myself while working on a project a few weeks back. I was doing a test of php image generation functions for a web painting application and was making random noise images ( like this)... but I accidently seeded the number from the time inside the loop each time, resulting in strange semi-random patterns: like this. Was pretty cool after it I realized the bug (was pretty frustrating before that :) ). Er, apologies for the self-link I guess.

I especially liked the nudes, or was that the glitch. This is why I like Meta and its member moz. Maybe I too can now create some art, since I'm a glitch to my computer. Thanks moz I enjoy the obscurity of things that one can find in an object, art.

moz: nothing personal, but maybe including the word "f**k* in a FPP isn't necessary...I'm just sayin'.

Weird, I was just talking about this to a colleague with a particularly cool visual glitch in our particle system. I was proposing making an archive of the more interesting ones, although it'd be a bit difficult to distribute. Maybe as "out-takes" or for easter-eggs. Unfortunately a large part of my job is to eliminate 'art' like this (and to be honest, 99% of them are in no way interesting). Failing sound code is my personal favourite. In Kinetica, I had a set of bugs that cancelled and restarted every engine sound every fifth of a second, maxed out their volumes, but preserved pitch and pan. Sounded like nothing on earth.
