ED̀͘Į̛T :̢ As it has been close to a year since beginning to experiment with Glitch Art, I would like to update the links here for anyone else interested in Glitch art or for further research. I will aim to continue posting my experiments and I also encourage anyone to post their results too!
ED̀͘Į̛T 2 (2018) : I have added a link/resource page to my website which lists everything from various software, tutorials (including my own) and further reading here:

Recently I have been experimenting with glitch art. This was a progression from glitching images to produce sound. I often import images into audio software (Mostly audacity, however as renoise can open any file, i do use it too), sometimes apply effects or just save/export the audio file. This can produce interesting results which can vary depending on file format and other factors. As I am moving more towards creating my own samples, I have begun to create more glitched sounds rather than rely on others. I also find satisfaction in creating or capturing a “real glitch” as opposed to something controlled. There is art in the mistakes created when pushing technology beyond it’s intended use too and I am really enjoying exploring this.
As I have also been searching for art to complement my sound, it seemed natural to seek methods of visual glitching. I found a few helpful resources and started experimenting with data bending using a hex editor (Hexedit) and Wordpad. Results varied from different file formats (raw,jpg,bmp,tiff,psd) and processes. The possibility of manipulating image layers in a psd (phtoshop file) seems really interesting to me too.
For those unfamiliar with glitch art, here is a brief description on Wikipedia:
" Glitch art is the aestheticization of digital or analog errors, such as artifacts and other “bugs”, by either corrupting digital code/data or by physically manipulating electronic devices (for example by circuit bending)." (read full article here).
I have only been experimenting with databending for a week, though I am enjoying the process and will continue. There is much to explore.
Some of you may already be quite familiar with glitch art, using hex editors etc. Please share your art
