Interface Fractures IF4Q

Interface Fractures is a series of audiovisual explorations Luka Prinčič has been developing in collaboration with the Slovenian Cinematheque since 2013. The series’ cinema-sound episodes share the same method and format: an immersive situation in the darkness of the cinema, the use of digital and open source tools for generating image and sound, a dichotomy between fixed composition and improvisation in time, a tendency for abstraction out of which fragments of the concrete arise, and playing with the synchronisation of sound and image. Although the creation process includes an examination of the contemporary human condition, conventional narration is not so important in the created performances and remains in the background. Interface Fractures is thus a fragmented excursion into abstract sound and the moving picture. Their synthetic integration emerges from the process of searching for fractures and subjectivities in a seeming impenetrability of polished and polarised interfaces – mediated, inter-machinic, interhuman.

jpeg-LS glitching with FFmpeg

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.
