Rosa Menkman (born Arnhem, 3 April 1983) is a Dutch art theorist, curator and visual artist specialising in glitch art and resolution theory. After she finished her Master's thesis, Menkman decided to research artists who use instabilities and errors in software as the basis for visual work. Music based upon software errors was already described as glitch music by, among others, Kim Cascone. Menkman broadened the artistic concept of glitch by also applying the term to the visual arts.
In her writings, Menkman has described the historical roots of glitch in art. According to her, the glitch 'method' already occurred on celluloid in the work of filmmaker Len Lye, in the video art of Nam June Paik and in the digital art of Cory Arcangel. Also, Menkman describes the various software bugs that are used for glitch art and outlines the work of contemporary glitch artists. Menkman herself is mentioned as glitch theorist in several academic publications.
