I work for a satellite imaging company. We get a ton of very interesting glitch images. For both regulatory and business reasons I won't get into, those are usually difficult / impossible to share publicly.

However, they're honestly often weirdly beautiful. I dearly wish we could share them. We have internal channels where we post interesting examples. They're quite neat! It would actually make for a fascinating gallery exhibition.

Someone somewhere should definitely make a full on exhibition or study using similar methods of introducing faults in capture / compression / decompression / etc. I'm sure it's been done, but I haven't seen it before.

That sounds so cool. Maybe collect the in a directory (like I did) and ask for permission to publish them after some time when the content might not be relevant any longer?
And of course, as soon as I say that, I think to search: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glitch_art

Satellite imagery makes for exceptionally pretty examples, though.
