How to recreate this 1 color glitch effect from photo

Question

I am looking for a way to recreate the below effect from a photo in Photoshop. The place where I found this print has multiple similar examples, which leads me to believe that it was not made by re-drawing the artwork, but created by manipulating a source photo.

I am pretty sure it starts by posterizing the original photo, but I am kinda stumped after that. It might a texture that goes over it, or maybe some combination of filters allows to achieve the effect?

I would be very grateful for anything that will let me get close to this, or any of the other 3 examples linked above.

Answer 1

Here's one method

1. Open an image in Photoshop - preferably one that is high in contrast with a dark background and dramatic lighting, then convert it to greyscale mode

2. Reduce the image size to approx 300px in height

3. Create a 1px line pattern, and fill a new layer above with the pattern

4. Find a glitchy texture on google images, something like this one

5. Paste the glitch texture, and squish it so each line of the glitch corresponds roughly with one line of pixels, change the layer blending mode to Vivid Light

6. Duplicate the glitch texture layer, and move it down so that the entire image is covered with the glitches

7. Apply a Threshold adjustment layer, and adjust the threshold until you get the effect you want.

Here's an example showing the layers and final Threshold Adjustment layer

Finally if you need a larger version Scale the Image using "Nearest Neighbour" to preserve the hard pixel edges.
