The State of the Art
The glitch art that wasn’t supposed to exist. Missingno is one of the very first instances of a glitch being artistic in its qualities. Aside from the fact that it was utilized as a cheat code in the original Pokemon games, it has created an ethos around the notion of glitches and captured the imagination of a generation. A technological mistake and lethal to saved data if captured, Missingno is one of the initializers of glitch art aesthetic and deserves to be venerated. Missingno’s main forms that were uniquely its own come in a collage of the 4 forms or can be collected individually. This monster rounds out the Pokemon Retro Art Series that captures all 152 uniquely catchable original pocket monsters.
