Corrupt.processing
Glitch Art
The corruption process starts by reading the binary code of an image file [JPG or GIF]; then arbitrary bits are swapped [the number of replacements is a random value from 1 to 20]. The file is "saved as" a new document. Depending on the number of replacements and the original compression, the file will have a completely different and unpredictable aesthetic.
You can load any file type, you can change the number of files generated, the number of replacements (affecting the Corruption Level), you can adjust the replacements positions.
So from a single image, the program can generate millions of corrupted versions. Because it literally corrupts the binary code of the file, some of the results are so damaged that they are actually rendered unviewable.
Feel free to update, modify and share corrupt with as many people as possible.
