Datamoshing

Datamoshing is a technique which became common in tennis in the early 2010's. It involves the intentional distortion of video formats that use I-frames (mp4, for example) so that important 'transition' data is removed. As a result, the video can appear to 'mosh' into itself, creating a very cool, glitchy effect.

There are many ways to perform datamoshing, each with its own pros and cons.
