:thufie: Goo Truther :contains_thc:<p>A lot of people really like glitchy image aesthetics, but i've noted that image editing tools for adding glitchy effects, or at least what shows up in search results, are kind of bad. I thought I'd share a link to the tool which originally got me into glitch art back in 2012 by Paul Hertz. GlitchSort2 is a bespoke old school java GUI that simultaneously works with command line input/output with dedicated keybinds. It is not the most intuitive UI, but it offers the best array of databending and glitch art techniques in one tool I've ever seen, and certainly doesn't require uploading your image to a website! The original blog and download are either down or unreliable, so here is a wayback machine snapshot of the page. Take your time exploring everything it can do, nothing much better has been made since.<br><a href="https://social.pixie.town/tags/GlitchArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlitchArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.pixie.town/tags/DataBending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataBending</span></a><br><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210413044711/http://paulhertz.net/factory/2012/08/glitchsort2/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">web.archive.org/web/2021041304</span><span class="invisible">4711/</span></a><a href="http://paulhertz.net/factory/2012/08/glitchsort2/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="ellipsis">paulhertz.net/factory/2012/08/</span><span class="invisible">glitchsort2/</span></a></p>
Keith Devereux<p>The other 'thing' I got into this year is glitching. This came from my experiments with the Gameboy and started with simple databending, opening image files with word processors or audio editors. <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ArtAdventCalendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArtAdventCalendar</span></a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Audacity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Audacity</span></a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Databending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Databending</span></a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/DigitalArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalArt</span></a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Glitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Glitch</span></a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/GlitchArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlitchArt</span></a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Glitchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Glitchy</span></a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/PlayStationPortable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlayStationPortable</span></a>,</p>

Phracker<p>Glitch Urbexia</p><p>This is based on a variation of databending that I call cosine bending. This involves manipulating the parameters of the discrete cosine transform algorithm used to perform lossy compression on a JPEG image. This may sound rather advanced and convoluted, but it really just means saving a JPEG at a very low quality to produce glitch effects. I did that with one of my old urbex photos, and then I messed with the colors in GIMP and applied some pixel sorting to get the image shown here. 😗 </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Glitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Glitch</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GlitchArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlitchArt</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Urbex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Urbex</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DataBending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataBending</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Databent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Databent</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Psychedelic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Psychedelic</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PsychedelicArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PsychedelicArt</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Trippy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trippy</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Photomanipulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photomanipulation</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GIMP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GIMP</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Gradient" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gradient</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DigitalArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalArt</span></a></p>
