Glitchbox

Dependencies:

• opencv (with python bindings installed)
• numpy
• scipy

this is best handled through pip, or your system's package manager

Usage

glitch.py

to run an animation do something like this:

for i in $(seq 1 100); do ./glitch.py ~/grfx/vector/praxis_graffitty.png -o anim/$(printf %03d $i).png -a 25 -m 350; done

or this:

for i in $(seq 1 100); do ./glitch.py ~/grfx/vector/praxis_graffitty.png -o anim/$(printf %03d $i).png -a $((20+$i)) -m 350; done

emerge.py

will show an image or animation against a backdrop of noise, more amplitude shows more of the image, less amplitude more of the noise. make some noise, by dumping data into a junkfile, like:

cat someimage.tiff someaudiofile.wav somebinary > junkfile

example:

./emerge.py -s soundfile.wav image.png -o /tmp/ -t 0.05 --junkfile junkfile

distort.py

shifts line horizontally by the amplitude of the input signal samples.

example:

./distort.py -s soundfile.wav image.png -o /tmp/ -a 15 

combine emerge and distort for better noise/signal ratio
