Nice work OP
Please could you go into more detail as to how you created this piece please?

>>2516

Ok, you need to first find the image you want to glitch, then copy it and paste it into an easily accessible area (I recommend making a folder on your desktop), then change the extension of the image to .bmp and open it in notepad (or textedit on mac), then scroll down most of the page until you reach a bunch of random characters, feel free to hack and slash at it, enter and delete whatever you want - experiment. Save it and open ever so often to see how its going.

Have fun.

Dumping a bunch of ones I made from an image of my cat.

I'm very much enjoying this. The same thing can be done with aiff or wav files to make some lovely glitchy sounds for anyone interested.

I've been able to also glitch NES ROMs with a Hex editer, for example I've made a glitched ROM of The Legend of Zelda (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TZBT2OMR)

Start a new game and when you start walking about, press start. Don't enter any of the caves as it will cause the game to crash.

Super Mario Bros.

I've tried it, all that happens for me is that no program can open the file.

>>2525

What are you using to do it?

>>2526

Just notepad to edit it, I tried opening it up with every programme I could think of, but nothing worked.

>>2515
This thread is making me facepalm so much I might hurt myself. Intentionally corrupting a binary file? Glitch art? For fucks sake guys. Get a grip.

>>2528
You have to admit, though, the OP picture came out really nice looking.

>>2527

Make sure the extension is .bmp and open it with notepad edit it and save it, don't use save as. I'm using textedit, so there might be some difference.

>>2527

Also, you've probably completely corrupted the file, save after every change so that you can revert to its original state if it becomes completely corrupted.

Taken from /x/ and then added my name to the beginning of every fiftieth line.

So is everyone doing this on a mac? Are macs the only things prone to such problems?

>>2534 That looks very nice, although I would like to see the original...to compare the two of course.

>>2536 Nope. You can do this using Notepad/Notepad++ on Windows or Scite on Linux, to name but a few programs.

>>2534

The nicest green arse I've seen in a while.

I quite enjoyed doing this, actually. Might have another go at it some time.

>>2530
>change the extension of the image to .bmp
Changing the extension by renaming the file is absolutely pointless; it doesn't change the data within and Notepad/Wordpad will open anything. I can however see the value in converting the file to bitmap format.

>>2550

I've heard .jpg is more volatile and likely to become completely corrupted, but whatever works I guess.

>>2551
Yes, that does make sense. You've missed the point however that simply renaming a file (changing its extension) does not convert the file itself. For that you have to use a program that offers such functionality; Windows Explorer does not.

i made some digital distortion by saving images that are only half downloaded, i like it

>>2561

I did it by hitting my monitor with a hammer! Now everything is wonderfully distorted!

After countless, countless failed attempts I think I'm finally getting the hang of this shit.

>>2515
Tried doing it in "Processing", to some success.
Worth a look if you know a little about programming, or even if you don't.

http://www.ffd8.org/header_remix/ here's a good site to play around with.

I like image glitching, but this only works on my brother's computer(windows os).
Chaps, give me an advice please, what text editing program to use, if I'm on linux?

>>2517

I must be a retard. I'm doing exactly what the op says, but every time I try to open the image, it says it's unable to parse the jpeg data (unsurprisingly) or an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found.
(Screencap related for halp pls. There's that chunk of text for the first quarter, then that gap, then the rest of the file is the same below the gap which I try and edit. What do.)

>>2790 only edit small parts, after each edit, save it and view the picture, if it becomes corrupted so that you cannot view the file, undo what you just did in notepad. It takes a while to be able to do it.

>>2792

No seriously, I must be a retard. I've tried with 2 different photos, each time only editing a tiny bit in different places. It just refuses to re-open once I've fiddled with it and tried to re-open in photoshop.

>>2793

It's incredibly fussy tbh, it's taken me hours to get a system that works for me, and it appears that it doesn't work for everyone. I'd mess around with different file types and editors until hopefully you'll be able to find something that works.

I like this topic. It reminds me of videos like these:

>>2809

I appreciate this. I'd like to know how it's done at some point in the future.
