intro to glitch art

October 27, 2016

Glitch art is about breaking through some of the assumptions and interfaces that govern our relationship to computers and through this kind of playful experimentation reorient our understanding of digital technologies. (Nick Briz)

jpeg-LS glitching with FFmpeg

October 26, 2016

In an older version of FFmpeg it was possible to glitch the image with JPEG-LS codec. Newer versions of FFmpeg don’t work anymore in this way, so one must download an old version and compile it (keep it local) – here 2.0.7 is used.

This script takes a video file as an argument, extracts frames, glitches them, and gathers frames back into a video file.

#!/bin/bash

# jpeg-LS glitcher by nova@deviator.si http://deviator.si

# check existence of input argument
# the $# variable will tell you the
# number of input arguments the script was passed. 
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
  then
    echo "Error. No arguments supplied. Please define a video"
    exit 1
fi

# does the movie file actually exist?
if [ ! -f $1 ]; then
    echo "Error. File not found!"
    exit 1
fi

# get this session's "ID"
SID=`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S`

# jpegls glitch needs an older ffmpeg 
FFMPEG=/home/random/src/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-2.0.7/ffmpeg

# create folder for this session
DIR=jpegls_$SID
echo "+++ creating folder $DIR ..."
mkdir $DIR

# create tmp folder
echo "+++ creating folder $DIR/tmp/ ..."
mkdir $DIR/tmp/

echo "+++ extracting all frames as images..."

ffmpeg -loglevel 16 -i $1 $DIR/tmp/frame%5d.jpg

echo

echo "+++ processing each image..."

do
    
    echo "processing $i "
    $FFMPEG -loglevel 16 -i $i -pred 80 -c:v jpegls $i.jpgls.jpg
    ffmpeg -loglevel 16 -i $i.jpgls.jpg -c:v png $i.png
    
done

glitching images & movies with audio effect using sox

Last week or two were pretty intense work-wise. But most of things went through pretty smoothly, so I’m quite happy about it. A sense of achievement is somewhere around here…, present. And that’s good. Despite the cold.

For a while now I’ve been trying different things to find a way to update my patrons on the inner workings of what I create. You know, the “frequent studio updates”. When I quietly started Patreon campaign at the beginning of the year I had many ideas how to do these updates, and I shot and edited various videos, but mostly disliked them as somewhat inauthentic. ( Yes, we can discuss authenticity online, narcissism and all youtube-culture problems! :) )

However, today I’m happy to share with my patrons an issue of so called ‘work-journal’, mostly timelapse material edited with music and annotations. I stand behind it, it feels right. It feels honest. I hope it gives you a bit of a (week-long) view of my studio and different work environments I’m creating in: a club, a theatre hall, a studio.
