Happy you like the effect! I did indeed discover it by accident, and have been playing with it some. Basic idea is start with any image, (this is a Lotus flower from Chicago Botanical Garden water plants area). Save it as low quality jpeg. Then Sharpen several (5, 6?) times in Photoshop to bring out the funky texture. From here, can try several different things. [gif compression also does interesting things...]
