The Art of PNG Glitch (2015)

Did a naive glitching approach in JavaScript around this same timeframe. Just loaded into a page as data element and started flipping random bits when you clicked on it. Tried it with jpg too but the results with PNG we’re way more trippy and cool.

I did it with a JavaScript JPG encoder - not randomly flipping output bits, but randomly flipping bits during the encoding: http://www.mrspeaker.net/dev/jpgcrunk/

(Though I kind of have a feeling I pushed my project when this article was posted originally! [Edit: ha, yep, I sure did - someone linked the original discussion below])

Interesting thing is to see how the different renderers process the glitches. Some have a much greater tenacity than others to get pixels on screen.
