Micro-Project 5: Glitch Aesthetics

The experimentation with editing the text file of the images started this way:

1. I don’t know what I’m doing, so I’ll see what I get
2. I guess I’ll also take a screen shot along with renaming what I changed to learn

This is my learning processes with glitching.

The idea that my password is hidden somewhere in this code, along with one of my most successful artworks coupled with how I slowly tried to understand the process of glitching makes the piece very exciting to work with. If someone were to possibly download this image and track the differences made, they could find out either my password or the fact that this form of analog play is dead.
