Tangential: I really liked the glitch remix of U Can't Touch This by Rude Ass Tinker[0] way back whenever that was (15 years!)
There was also one of Its Getting Hot In Herre (can't find a link) and Daft Punk's Derezzed[1] - which is more of a standard remix than glitch, and I like it as much as the original
The first two manage to stay true to the source material, whilst also being very annoying in creative, and therefore entertaining, ways.
It looks like a very nice exhibition, I guess i will try to go to Munich before the 17th of March.
Also if anyone is interested in glitch aesthetic I’ve been working on a software for making png glitch creation accessible called Glitched Factory[1].
If by any chance you try it i would love to know your critics.
I will definitely be going, if anyone wants to join, I created a Dudle:

Sundays the museum entry is 1 EUR. Exhibition might cost extra.

Nice
I was thinking about the glitch aesthetic recently. So much of it now is focused on something like the first image, that arises from encoding errors in image or video compression. And before that it was magnetic tape or radio signal distortions. I was thinking that the glitch aesthetic is bound to move (already be moving) towards the kinds of images that arise from generative models. In the now shutdown dalle beta tester discord there was great discussion of glitch tokens and the weird images that came out. I think what's exciting is surrealist glitches in the conceptual space of images. Rather than just graphical distortions, semantic distortions running ladders through images.
