The artboard is sampled as a texture, and everything happens to the coordinates before the sample: whole blocks jump sideways, thin rows tear, and the red and blue channels are read from slightly different places so every edge splits. A few frames of block-shuffle and a bright bar roll through on each burst. Between bursts the screen keeps a faint scanline and a hair of chromatic split, so it never looks like a still. In the course this is the GlitchScreen node that dismisses the start menu.
