Glitch art is art that uses intentionally generated errors (glitches) in images, videos, and audio, created by destroying digital data or physically manipulating electronic devices. Glitch art is fascinating because it manifests unpredictable beauty. We have been exploring the production methods and effects of glitch art. As part of this research, we explored the creation and methods of glitch art that can be enjoyed aurally. Specifically, we first used image processing software to generate multi-layered data that mixed image data and music data as separate layers. Next, we loaded this data into audio processing software and applied audio processing to the image data portion, confirming that glitch art can be created without affecting the music data. This method is an extension of our previous method, but the purpose of our previous method was to generate glitch sound, and it was not able to generate glitch art. Moreover, this method generated unbearable noise sounds in music data, and could not be enjoyed aurally. In contrast, this study demonstrates a method that allows glitch art to be enjoyed not only visually but also aurally as music. This research is unique in that it simultaneously makes glitches visible and audible, and can be said to create a new type of art that brings about a shift in aesthetic sense. This is because the visually beautiful parts are merely audibly noisy sounds, and the audibly beautiful parts appear visually to be noise.
