I enjoy making glitched art: http://www.pictame.com/media/1672021361490638063_2142693770 "Down the rabbit hole", in this piece I was imagining alice going through space and time.

In this piece: http://www.pictame.com/media/1670552630021067791_2142693770 I was feeling like a face in the crowd. With magic, you can work on the art of misdirection.

Thank you Legowar, it's a lot of fun taking a 'finished' image and highlighting other aspects that are already there.

I'm curious, what kind of methods do you use to make these images? Do you do certain things that cause glitches to occur in applications or in data? Or do you use the aesthetics of errors in image files and creatively recreate these aesthetics with common image editing tools (e.g. photoshop)?

Do you burn your image files on to dvds, then physically scratch those dvds, then reload that data back into your comp with some data recovery software and further select/crop/edit/collage the 'found footage'? I'm curious!

Reminds me of this video:

Great question, as well as clip. I haven't seen that music video before. I would love to be able to apply these effects to video as well.

To answer the first part, I started making glitches with 'Audacity' an audio editing program.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNIPukGJkw0 Reference video.

The way it would work is taking an image, converting it to .bmp format, then loading it as 'raw data' into an audio program.

It would then turn it into an audio file I could apply filters too, like pitch control / Echo.

Then re-rendering it back into a .bmp file would sometimes give effects.

That was how I first got into the medium.

What I currently use now is two applications on my phone (android). I use

1: Pixabay https://pixabay.com/ For quality stock images with creative commons use. (Free to edit without needing to pay the author for licensing).

2: Glichur https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.josefaguilar.glichur&hl=sw an app created by someone interested in the art of glitching images, and creates quality effects for a cheap price. ($1.99)

I would like to point out that I am currently beta testing version 2.0 so my phone's version has some updated features that are planned on being released soon.

From there I just started editing and getting used to the effects while joining an art group on facebook for inspiration.

'Glitch Artist Collective' and 'Glitch artist: tool time' have been great at showing me how to take my techniques further.

For post editing, if I want to make a picture specifically for social media:

https://www.canva.com/ Canva is the tool to make sure that everything fits.

A great free program for image editing is: https://www.getpaint.net/download.html Paint.net // which is lightweight and can use brushes and fonts from other programs / sources.

Thanks for asking, and I hope the tools and resources help out.

Hah, that audacity method works like a charm! Very easy and elegant.
I'm not sure about glitchur. Isn't part of the whole idea of glitch art to use the tools in an unintended way? Glitchur abruptly brings the thinking-out-of-the-box approach right back in to the box, or so it seems. I haven't used Glitchur.

(I'm familiar with Audacity).

The very nature of glitching is to use tools to bring about unintended results. That being said, glichur is is a tool created by someone that is a fan of the medium and took the methods created by audacity and other editing programs, and wrote his own app to create those on your phone.

So effects like 'Inverse' 'Blended restore' and multiple images are something that can be done without using two or three programs, if you don't have access to a computer.

I am all about free tools, but the 1.99 that the creator asks for his app is really a good value for all that it has to offer.

Since I'm usually on the go, having an app with good features, that doesn't ask for any other money is almost like investing in minecraft.
