Digital TV Dinner

Digital TV Dinner is a video art clip from 1979 created by Raul Zaritsky, Jamie Fenton, and Dick Ainsworth using the Bally Astrocade console game to generate unusual patterns.
The Bally Astrocade was unique among cartridge games in that it was designed to allow users to change game cartridges with power-on. When pressing the reset button, it was possible to remove the cartridge from the system and induce various memory dump pattern sequences. DIgital TV DInner is a collection of these curious states of silicon epilepsy set to music composed and generated upon this same platform.
DTV first appeared at an Electronic VIsualization Festival in Chicago, and we hear the voice of Dr. Thomas Defanti introducing this item to the audience.

Glitch art used to be the manliest art there is, since it just involved whaling on things with your fists.

How many old 8 bit programmers became women?! This person is like the 5th or 6th I've read about.

I mean as a programmer you either live long enough to wear the thighhigh striped socks & own at least one blahaj shark or you die in the closet, no other options.
