The Glitchers 1.0 - JPG with parasites #18

If digital artworks make artificial scarcity even more artificial, there must be also artificial decay.

It was a long time I wanted to explore the jpeg format.
It's some time I get exposed to glitch art.
So my imagination started showing me little digital creatures parasiting poor jpegs the same as woodworms or termites.

So we now have this little toy to see immortal artworks suffering for collectors delight - some of them will even become agonizing and ineluctably turn into still carrions.
There is a control bar to allow people to acelerate or to slow down this cruel enterteinment, and also to take photos (⇩ button) when in "opened" mode

Furthermore some grayscale bytemaps of the jpeg segments are visualized aside the image for those interested to see the little glitchers at work. In the control bar it's possible to switch among the maps of the affected segments, or to just enjoy the image alterations in full size.

The fruition of the work is accompanied by a screen providing information about the image and it's parasites and the concise but complete Glitcherspedia with precious svg drawings of the many different glitchers, both accessible by the command bar.
