This image was glitched using the SVG Databending technique. It's done by converting a photograph into a vector image in Illustrator or Inkscape, saving it as an SVG file, and databending the saved file, Visconti explains.

"The *Little Monsters* series that was in the link were all done by UV Mapping a photograph onto a 2D plane in Blender, a free 3D modeling program (I used version 2.6, the glitch doesn't work on newer versions), exporting the 2D plane as a Wavefront Object File (.OBJ), and databending the resulting object file," he says.
