Glitch Art

Today I've been introduced to the world of glitch art through this video:


I really want to give this a try. I thought that some of you would be into this as well. It's simple to make, but hard to make something really well.

    Datamoshing can be beautiful.

    Oh man, I had forgotten the joys of opening up an image in a text editor.

    And when converted to a GIF...

    Tried my hand at it using notepad++ and a self portrait from last year.
    It keeps changing colors. Not like a gif. It's very arbitrary. Like if I refresh or go to another tab and come back to it. Weird!

  • VigaViga
    It did it again! As I write this, it's outlined in green! O_O Fascinating!

    You guys could just learn how image file formats work. It's publicly available information on the Internets. Requires math.

    Glitch music is neat.

    Second try.

    I find image manipulation to be really interesting, but it gets into some heavy math pretty quick.

    And now you know why there is only one Photoshop. It does all those maths.
  • MATATATMATATAT
    Yeah Adobe of course has whole teams of phd holders optimizing formulas and improving algorithms as well as making new ones.

    Playing with some old photos.

    Reminds me of the epic disaster that was a programming class for engineering students that I took (and later TA'd for). Actually, it wasn't even a full programming class -- it was just a portion of the introductory engineering class along with some basic electrical engineering and engineering statics (i.e. calculating forces on parts of bridges and whatnot). Anyway, this programming "class" involved learning how to program in C, and there were four assignments for this class that were basically done alongside the assignments for the non-programming portions of the class. The assignments went something like this:
    1. Write "Hello, World."
    2. Write a program that lets you input your name and then print it out.
    3. Write a program that lets you input the components of two vectors and calculate their cross and dot products
    4. Write a program that loads an image file from disk into an array, runs some image processing filters (where you're only given their mathematical formulas and not any sort of code or pseudocode algorithms) on the array, and displays the processed image on screen.
    1-3 were pretty easy for the most part, though a few people had some trouble with it if they weren't particularly computer literate. 4, however, was a nightmare, as the class didn't teach anyone anything about pointers or other C-isms you'd need to know about in order to properly implement that program. What's worse, we had to do these assignments on a bunch of old Mac IIs in a public computer cluster. As these old machines had no memory protection, screwing up your pointer arithmetic pretty much crashed the entire machine and required a full reboot. It got even better when the university only had a limited number of licenses for compiler the class used and people were unable to actually finish their work because the number of licenses had been used up already.

    A few years after that, they changed the engineering degree requirements where an engineering student had to take a course in the computer science department itself with the option of either taking an introductory course in scientific computing in C or any other higher-level CS course (which is what I did to fulfill the requirement due to changing my major slightly between my freshman year and when the requirements took effect). About freakin' time.

    This is some New Aesthetic shit you got going on here.

    I hated those kinds of classes because even if you had all the computing knowledge, you could fail by not knowing the math of whatever problem space they wanted you to solve. It was a test of math knowledge and not CS knowledge.

    Well, this one was a double whammy because A) they didn't teach you the math necessary and B) they didn't teach you the CS necessary either. I mean, I already knew some rudimentary programming going in from playing with Basic and stuff for years. I even sometimes wrote some quick and dirty Qbasic programs to do some number crunching for my lab reports for this class. However, I didn't know C and was unfamiliar with pointers, C-arrays (which are just glorified pointers), and various other C-isms/more advanced programming concepts. Therefore, the first 3 programs were a breeze for me as they were not too different from the things I had written in Basic/Qbasic before -- just written in a different language. The 4th program, between the math and the more advanced C/CS concepts, just was a pain for me to figure out.

    I did take a graphics programming class later, but at least that class was all about teaching you the math and related algorithms as it was a higher-level class that assumed you already had all the fundamental CS knowledge necessary to implement those algorithms, so it was okay.

    I had a camera that would (as far as I could tell randomly) distort the image. It became purple and hazy, so I called it the Jimi Hendrix filter. Here's the pics I have from it from a trip I took to DC (interpret that as you may):

    I see your video and raise you one mochipet remix of Kraddy's Android Porn, which is equally good.




    Also this appears to be an edit of the song, the original remix is like 8 minutes long.

    One of my favorite songs



    The entire cd is amazing.

    Ants and Crunk de Gualle are from the albums Crying Over Pros for No Reason and Certified Air Raid Material respectively. Edit and Kraddy are both members of The Glitch Mob, which isn't actually all that glitchy, but it's just as impressive.



    Anything ediT touches is amazing, really.

    Kraddy isn't in glitch mob anymore. He was with them when they made Crush Mode but then he started doing his own thing. Crush Mode is decently glitchy, but they moved far away from that with Drink The Sea. They're good at putting on a great show, which is why I think they moved away from the glitch stuff towards more manageable music. Glitch hop style stuff is just a lot of crazy break editing as far as I can tell.

    Break editing and some really impressive audio engineering, which puts it right next to glitch in terms of technique.

    Also, I've figured out how to get some actual control over how I text-edit images.

    Share how you did it, Walker. I want to know!
  • AndrewAndrew
    Math equations are just super-condensed pseudo-code.
  • WalkerWalker
    Just open the image in a photo viewer and a text editor at the same time. Every time you save the text file the photo viewer will automatically update. Office Picture Manager has worked the best for me.

    Like CS isn't math?

    I already do that. I thought you did something different.

    It's not working for me. Is there something I'm supposed to do besides open the text file and delete random shit? Is there a specific file format I'm supposed to use?

    What text editor are you using?
