"In a technical sense a glitch is the unexpected result of a malfunction".
Unexpected or intentional, 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)"(wikipedia).
The 'photocopy effect', where upon repeated copies the object begin to accumulate the idiosyncrasies of the medium doing the copying, can be considered a glitch as well.
"Full words: I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice as well as the image of myself, and I am going to upload it to YouTube, rip it from YouTube, and upload it again and again, until the original characteristics of both my voice and my image are destroyed. What you will see and hear, then, are the artifacts inherent in the video codec of both YouTube and the mp4 format I convert it to on my computer. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a digital fact, but more as a way to eliminate all human qualities my speech and image might have."
Then what I'll do is to make some drawings with the eyes closed and those will be my glitch artifacts.
