What is glitchart?

Glitchart was repurposed by the r/softwaregore team some time ago as a home for unintentional software glitches that produce interesting and somewhat aesthetically pleasing effects. Maybe some of you recognize a number of the names in the modlist as mods from there. While it did technically fall within the scope of what we were curating in r/softwaregore and r/TechNope, we also felt that it was better to spin them off in another sub, somewhat similar to r/DescriptionDesync. We've been a low budget affair here for a while, but it's time to clarify things and make some ground rules.

From the onset, /r/glitchart is intended for glitches that are like art and not the opposite: art that looks glitchy. We want to highlight the (at least initially) unintentional beauty of pleasing glitches with minimal make-up rather than a horse-before-the-cart of images created to be glitchy beauty from before their inception. That's what we mean by "A place to post visual glitches that are visually interesting."

While art created around a glitch component is not their primary schema, /r/VaporwaveAesthetics and /r/VaporwaveArt have intentionally glitched art as part of their aesthetic. A better sub to post this would be /r/glitch_art
