There’s a dash of bizarreness in any old glitch, but the glitch art found in the interactive digital art project *Xilitla* is dizzying, clashing, the stuff of nightmares you can’t wake up from. A work of protracting triangles, haunting mannequin faces, and zigzag patterns, *Xilitla* was created in game engine Unity by glitch practitioner Rosa Menkman, who a few years ago authored *Glitch Moment/um*, a book which covers the increasing popularization of the glitch aesthetic in digital art. All I have to say is thank heaven computers never glitch out so badly or I would burn my laptop and stay off the Internet forever.

*Xilitla* is downloadable for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can watch a mini-documentary on the making of it below, or [beeline to her site](http://xilitla.beyondresolution.info/?ref=killscreen.com) and start weirding yourself out now.
