Where can you share glitch art and find glitch communities?

Active glitch art communities exist across platforms, offering spaces to share work, learn techniques, and connect with other practitioners.

Reddit: r/glitch_art (180k+ members) remains the largest dedicated community. r/VaporwaveAesthetics and r/generative overlap significantly. Good for feedback, inspiration, and technique discussion.

Discord: Multiple servers focus on glitch art, databending, and creative coding. The Glitch Artists Collective and Processing Community servers have active channels.

Instagram: Hashtags including #glitchart, #glitchartist, #databending, #pixelsorting, and #datamosh connect creators. The visual platform suits the medium well.

Are.na: Popular among conceptually-oriented digital artists for collecting and sharing references.

Tumblr: Retains an active glitch community despite platform changes, particularly for GIF-based work.

Exhibitions and festivals: GLI.TC/H (Chicago, historically), IDFA DocLab, and Ars Electronica have featured glitch work. Regional new media art spaces often program glitch-related exhibitions.

Learning communities: Creative coding communities (Processing, p5.js, TouchDesigner) overlap significantly with glitch practitioners. OpenProcessing and Shadertoy host shareable experiments.
