[Lomography](http://www.lomography.com/?ref=protein.xyz) has erected an empire around the volatile, imperfect beauty of analog film. Cross-processing and dust on cheap scanners make for dreamy images that cannot be reproduced by any Instagram filter. There remains something reactionary in the zeitgeist that continues to yearn for honest imperfection: media in mediums whose shortcomings and particularities are on full display. Witness evergreen demand for vinyl records, handmade everything and novel gimmicks like [YouTube’s VHS](http://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/04/youtube-vhs?ref=protein.xyz) feature we wrote about last week.  
  
So, instead of aping film, a new app from interactive designer [Vladimir Shreyder](http://cargocollective.com/shreyder?ref=protein.xyz) called [Glitché](http://www.glitche.com/?ref=protein.xyz) seizes upon *actual* contingencies in digital images. So, instead of dusty/grainy/faded, Glitché goes corrupted/pixellated/scrambled. And while these could normally be enough drive any photographer mad, they can in fact be downright stunning and provide a surprisingly authentic look into the depths of our digital images.
