What does the pixelization as an aesthetic choice represent?

It's used a few times in the series, most prominently in the 1 frame flashes of images and some single digit second animations in episode 26. I'm struggling to figure out what it's trying to represent, has anyone thought about this before?

As for Episode 26, maybe it represents how everyone’s souls and thoughts and feelings are “blending in to each other” during Instrumentality, just how the more pixelated versions of scenes causes the details to blend into each other.

Or it could just look cool. Either way works. Hope I could help in some way!
