Open any image file as a word document and you’ll notice a ton of text data that may seem like nonsense. That’s the information that makes up a .jpeg image file. Adding or modifying this information in any way corrupts the image in a visibly recognizable way. Expanding upon this concept, Georg Fischer developed a simple website interface that allows you to upload and image and modify it with “glitch amount” “sjpg quality” levers. Experiment with the generator here. Fun stuff indeed.
