Abstract—Glitch art is art that uses errors (glitches) in images, videos, and sounds that are intentionally created by destroying digital data or physically manipulating electronic devices. Glitch art is interesting in that it expresses unpredictable, accidental beauty. We are exploring the production methods and effects of glitch art, and as part of this research, we attempted to create glitch art by mixing images and classical music. Specifically, we simultaneously loaded image data and music data into the audio editing software Audacity to create multi-track data. This not only generates glitches in the image data, but also in the music data. Our goal is to generate glitch art by treating images as part of the music, and to make glitch art enjoyable to listen to. We have confirmed that this goal can be achieved by the method of this research. This research is unique in that it simultaneously realizes the visualization and sonification of glitches and creates a new type of art that brings about a shift in aesthetic sensibilities.
