Writing Notes: Glitch Art

Glitch Art - a type of media art where video and image files are already or intentionally corrupted to include glitches, creating a stylized viewing experience. What may look like an imperfection is the end goal and a result of the visual artist’s pixel sorting.

The glitch aesthetic includes:

elongated images,

pixelization,

color degradation, and

double exposure.

How to Create Glitch Art

Consider the following ways to create this unique form of visual art:

Digitally engineer glitches. Video editing software or apps can let you safely play with your hardware without damaging it. You can play with databending in video files in a photo or video editor and add in manufactured, intentional glitches.

Use magnets on screens. You can also play a video on a screen and employ a heavy-duty magnet, holding it close to the front to warp the pixels on the screen. Note that this has the potential to have long-lasting effects on the quality of your screen, so use this tactic wisely.

Work with broken devices. Damaged devices can yield the glitches that glitch artists seek in their media. Busted but still usable DVD and VHS players can warp the presentation of the video.

Forms of Glitch Art

Since glitch art is often not static, it takes forms outside of still .jpegs or .jpgs. Some forms include:

Glitch music: Glitch music involves the playing of distorted records, CDs, cassettes, or sound files that feature glitches, which may include skips or missing moments of music.

Glitch videos: Glitch videos are the most common type of glitch art, and you can create them by damaging e-files or hard media such as DVDs or video tapes. Artists can also warp videos by toying with a VHS or using magnets to distort pixels on the screen.

Glitch websites: These websites with errors coded within can make for more interactive pieces. Glitches spread throughout the website enhance the user experience and operate as a form of art.

A Brief History of Glitch Art

In technology, a digital glitch refers to a malfunction, often in video games or software development.

Intentional glitches: As technology evolved, artists harnessed the creative opportunities glitches presented and began deliberately incorporating them into various formats in the 1970s, popularizing an intentional glitch aesthetic. The Cubist movement influenced many glitch artists.

JODI: In 1994, Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans started the highly generative art collective JODI, which purposefully coded errors into website pages to display underlying error messages. The movement weny by the name “net.art.”

Global conventions: The glitch moment gained traction in the 2000s. The tech-art collective Motherboard hosted an international symposium for this new media style in 2002 in Oslo, Norway. In 2010, Nick Briz, Evan Meaney, Rosa Menkman, and Jon Satrom led the GLI.TC/H convention in Chicago with tutorials, performances, and screenings.

GIFs: Over the years, conventions have taken place in Minnesota, Croatia, and Iran, showing how popular the art form has become. Today, GIFS (.gifs), in many ways, echo some of the elements of early glitch art, where a single file repeats its media in a cyclical pattern.

Artists can use digital or analog modifications to create this type of modern art.

To produce glitch videos, artists distort pixels by placing large magnets near the screen or artificially create glitches in Photoshop.

Famous glitch artists include Len Lye, Daniel Temkin, Nam June Paik, and Rosa Menkman.

Ok since episode 5 is tomorrow, we need to review what happened in the previous episodes and what happened in the trailer so we can predict what is going to happen in episode five

In episode 1 ,"The Elastic Banana of Consciousness"

Pomni, a confused elbow disguised as a jester hat, logs into a corrupted educational math game from 1997 and immediately loses her sense of brunch. She meets a bunch of equally glitched individuals: a literal talking exclamation mark named Jax, a depressed marshmallow named Ragatha, and a cube of sentient soap called Caine, who insists he’s both the ringmaster and your dad.

Caine introduces Pomni to the Digital Circus, which is not a circus, nor digital, but rather a highly compressed pocket of psychological soup filled with balloon animals that whisper Latin. Every character seems chill until someone mentions “the exit,” at which point the walls bleed confetti and a vending machine starts screaming.

Midway through, Pomni is chased by a hallway that’s allergic to logic and ends up in the Void, a non-place that contains every browser tab you’ve ever left open. There, she meets a creature made entirely of obsolete TikTok dances who tries to explain free will using interpretive jazz.

Meanwhile, Jax hides beans in people’s shoes “just in case,” Ragatha attempts to build a friendship pyramid using wet spaghetti, and Kinger—the chess-obsessed metaphor for your uncle's trauma—tries to marry a lamp.

Eventually, everything loops like a cursed screensaver, and Pomni realizes she can’t log out because the logout button is actually a disguised metaphor for fear of abandonment. The episode ends with Caine flossing uncontrollably and screaming, “Welcome to the circus! We have emotional damage!”

In episode 2 ,

 “Glitch of the Gooey Gargoyle”

Pomni wakes up to find that her legs have been replaced with tiny pogo sticks that won't stop bouncing unless she speaks exclusively in limericks. Meanwhile, Jax decides he's going to start a "gargoyle breeding program" after mistaking a corrupted JPEG file for a magical egg.

Ragatha becomes convinced that she's a muffin and demands to be toasted in the digital sun, while Kinger insists he has uncovered a secret code in the pixelated wallpaper that will lead them all to the “Gummy Realm of Eternal Slight Discomfort.”

Chaos escalates when Caine hosts a mandatory "Trust Fall Tournament" inside a virtual dimension made entirely of banana pudding. Participants must trust fall into their worst fears while being serenaded by AI-generated country music sung backward.

Gangle accidentally summons the Gooey Gargoyle, a sticky, glitchy beast with the head of a rubber duck and the body of wet candy corn. It speaks only in outdated internet memes and leaks emotional data from everyone it touches.

To defeat it, the gang must:

Perform a synchronized dance using only their elbows

Solve a riddle shouted by a holographic toaster

Sacrifice something “deeply metaphorical, but also slightly crunchy”

In the end, Pomni manages to reset her legs by rhyming “existential dread” with “pixelated bread,” and the Gooey Gargoyle melts into a puddle that Jax tries to bottle and sell as “Glitch Sauce.”

Caine claps, declares it all “part of the experience,” and teleports everyone into a giant rubber chicken for next week's challenge.End Scene: The camera zooms in on a tiny fly trapped in a jar labeled "Plot Coherence – DO NOT OPEN."

Then in episode 3,

 “The Toenail of Truth”

The episode begins with Zooble waking up inside a giant bowl of alphabet soup that only spells out passive-aggressive messages. They quickly discover that someone has replaced all doors in the circus with sentient, judgmental salad bars that demand a detailed emotional monologue before opening.

Meanwhile, Caine announces that this week’s “lesson” is about “truth, trust, and toenails.” He reveals that one of the cast members has been hiding a secret... and the only way to discover the truth is by finding the ancient artifact: The Toenail of Truth, a glowing, 8-foot-long toenail said to grant absolute honesty to whoever sniffs it.

Subplots include:

Kinger believes the Toenail is haunting him and starts wearing 12 hats to “block the honesty waves.”

Gangle attempts to sculpt her feelings but accidentally brings her sculpture to life, and it immediately joins a punk band.

Pomni is convinced that the toenail contains the exit code to leave the digital world, so she teams up with a philosophical vending machine named Carl who only dispenses cryptic haikus and mayonnaise packets.

As the crew explores a maze made of unused CAPTCHA tests and infinite loading screens, they encounter hostile pop-up ads, a chorus of sock puppets reenacting their traumas, and a talking stapler who insists he's their new dad.

Eventually, Jax finds the Toenail lodged inside a floating disco pineapple guarded by 37 clones of himself, each more sarcastic than the last. After a chaotic battle of wit, juggling, and interpretive dance, they bring the Toenail back...

...only to discover that the “truth” it reveals is just everyone’s browser history, projected on the walls in neon Comic Sans.

Climax: Everyone runs screaming as their most embarrassing thoughts are revealed, but Pomni saves the day by smearing digital peanut butter on the Toenail, which causes it to crash and reboot into a regular piece of toast.

Final Scene: The group sits silently as the toast gives them vague life advice in a Morgan Freeman-esque voice while slowly spinning in midair.

Caine laughs maniacally and says, “Now wasn’t that enlightening?” before vanishing into a cereal box labeled “FREE SADNESS INSIDE.”

And finally, in episode 4,

“The Quest for the Spaghetti Moon”

Plot Summary:

The episode kicks off with Pomni accidentally triggering the "Spaghetti Moon" prophecy while trying to reboot the circus' Wi-Fi. According to an ancient, glitchy scroll she finds inside a vending machine, the Spaghetti Moon is a celestial event where spaghetti rains from the sky, and whoever catches the most noodles gets their deepest, weirdest wish granted… but only if they make it through a series of absurd trials.

The gang is thrust into a wild race to the Spaghetti Moon, but the rules are ever-changing, and nobody really understands anything. Caine announces that they will have to "earn the noodles" through a series of mini-games involving both brainpower and spaghetti-fueled athleticism.

Mini-Games Include:

Noodle Jousting: Contestants ride on flying meatballs and joust with noodle lances made out of rubber bands and existential dread.

Spaghetti Knowledge Quiz: A game show hosted by a sentient jar of marinara sauce that only asks questions about obscure 90s cartoons and internet forum history.

Spaghetti Time Travel: Jax accidentally rewinds time by 5 minutes every time he blinks, but only when it’s absolutely inconvenient.

Carbonara Yoga: A rigorous yoga session where the floor is made of lasagna, and every pose must be held while chanting “Al Dente” in unison.

Amidst all the chaos, Ragatha discovers that the Spaghetti Moon is an ancient digital virus that threatens to “delete” reality itself if they don’t reach it first. But instead of panicking, she turns the impending catastrophe into a fashion trend, creating a new line of spaghetti-themed hats for everyone.

Subplot: Gangle, after a deep conversation with a spaghetti cloud that asks her if she’s ever felt “truly al dente,” begins to question her purpose in life. She contemplates becoming a pasta philosopher. Her deep thoughts are only interrupted by Kinger, who insists that the Spaghetti Moon holds the secret to “Quantum Tacos”, and they need to travel through a giant glowing fork to find the “Meatball Multiverse.”

After endless noodle-related obstacles and a bizarre encounter with Spaghetto, a mafia boss made entirely of pasta and meatballs who speaks in cryptic rhymes, the crew finally arrives at the Spaghetti Moon, which, to their horror, turns out to be... an oversized ravioli.

As they try to harvest their wish-granting noodles, Caine reveals the twist: only the person who can cook the perfect pasta will be granted a wish. The group ends up in a giant digital kitchen, with each contestant racing to cook a dish while battling against an army of sentient spaghetti forks.

Climax: Pomni wins by accidentally cooking a perfect “spaghetti paradox” that is both overcooked and undercooked at the same time, causing the moon to implode into a giant spaghetti tornado. Instead of granting wishes, it sends the gang into a “lasagna dimension”, where everyone is stuck in an eternal loop of layering pasta and sauce.Ending Scene: Caine gives a dramatic monologue about “the nature of pasta” and “the futility of wishes” while the group slowly dissolves into a puddle of marinara sauce and Parmesan dust. In the final shot, the Spaghetti Moon flickers out of existence, replaced by a floating jar of pickles that whispers “Next time, just read the manual.”

Now let's review what happened in the trailer and make predictions for the fifth episode,

“Pinball Paradox”

Trailer Breakdown:

The trailer starts with Jax gleefully being ejected out of a giant pinball machine, his arms flailing like rubber noodles, with the words “WELCOME TO THE FLIP SIDE” flashing in neon lights above him. His eyes are wide with excitement, but also slightly glitching.

Suddenly, the circus tent shudders, and a loud voice (possibly Caine, possibly a malfunctioning Roomba) says, “The Flippers are HERE!” Cue a fast montage of everyone being sucked into a bizarre pinball world made of bouncing trampolines, glowing pachinko machines, and sentient bowling balls. The gang is screaming in both joy and fear.

Predictions:

The Pinball Machine Dimension: Everyone is transported into a giant, sentient pinball machine where the flippers are actually evil sentient ping-pong paddles that refuse to let anyone get past them without first answering a riddle about cereal mascots. They also might randomly shoot out rubber chickens instead of balls, causing chaos.

Pomni’s "Flipping Identity Crisis": Pomni spends half the episode trapped in a loop where every time she lands, she forgets who she is, only to remember the second she gets flung again. She meets her "flipped" self, who is now a disco ball and claims to be the “Real Pomni”. They have a heated debate about identity and what it means to be a digital construct, all while bouncing between various pinball bumpers.

Gangle's New Career: Gangle starts a pinball-themed improv comedy troupe in the middle of the chaos, recruiting a neon-clad pachinko ball named Marty. They perform extremely avant-garde performances about the meaning of digital existence, which are met with confused applause from the rest of the crew.

Ragatha’s “Pinball Wizard” Moment: Ragatha gets an epiphany and begins to channel her inner Pinball Wizard, thinking that if she can play the game perfectly, it will grant her an escape. She becomes one with the machine, wearing a glowing helmet that looks suspiciously like a toaster. By the end, she is teleported to a digital version of Earth, but it’s all just pancakes, and she has to figure out how to exist in this pancake reality. She also has to dodge syrup floods while solving complex breakfast metaphors.

Kinger's "Time Travel Pinball" Theory: Kinger believes that the pinball machine is a time loop device. The more you flip, the more you age in digital years. As a result, he starts talking to himself in the future tense and predicts that in 2 hours, he will have already solved the “mystery” of the episode by riding a giant marshmallow to the moon.

The Flippers' Origin Story: The evil Flippers reveal their backstory in a completely unexpected, musical number. Apparently, they were once just regular flip-flops left on a beach by a digital vacation simulator. After being exposed to "too much feedback," they gained sentience and became obsessed with high-speed, unpredictable motion. Their goal? To flip the circus into an alternate dimension where everything is upside down and off-center, just like them.

Caine’s Final Reveal: In the end, Caine dramatically announces that the only way to escape the Pinball Dimension is to score the highest points on the digital scoreboard. The twist? He’s secretly been cheating the entire time by manipulating the scoreboard with his “super secret Caine powers,” and nobody cares, because the game makes zero sense anyway.

Cliffhanger Ending:

As the episode closes, the camera zooms out to show the entire circus now stuck inside the pinball machine, each member floating in midair like helpless digital marbles. Pomni is being chased by a glowing, angry paddle, while Ragatha laughs maniacally in the corner, surrounded by pancakes. Jax is still trying to figure out what the “exit flipper” does, but no one’s really sure if the exit even exists.The final shot is a giant ball of confetti that gets sucked into the machine, followed by the text: “TO BE CONTINUED… MAYBE?”

[kernalphage]

Does anyone have any experience on attempting to clean up corrupted images?

I've tried looking at them in a hex editor and the failure mode mostly seems to be "ASCII overwriting a few lines" or "second half of the file is entirely replaced with zeroes"

Being able to automate the second case might be the first step, as those are a complete lost cause.

Iirc jpeg is encoded relatively (the next chunk depends on the previous one) so I might be hosed.

Also, can anyone recommend a backup service for next time?

How to Clean and Label Your Image Classification Dataset for Better Accuracy

Introduction 

In the realm of machine learning, the caliber of your dataset is pivotal to the performance of your model. Specifically, in Image Classification Dataset , possessing a well-organized and accurately labeled dataset is essential for attaining high levels of accuracy. Disorganized or incorrectly labeled data can mislead your model, resulting in erroneous predictions and diminished overall effectiveness. This blog will guide you through the critical steps necessary to effectively clean and label your image classification dataset, ensuring that your model is trained on high-quality data to achieve optimal results.

The Importance of Cleaning and Labeling

Before we delve into the steps, it is important to recognize the significance of cleaning and labeling:

Enhanced Model Accuracy – Clean and precise data enables the model to identify the correct patterns, thereby improving classification accuracy.

Minimized Overfitting – Eliminating noise and irrelevant data helps prevent the model from memorizing patterns that do not generalize well to unseen data.

Accelerated Training Speed – A well-structured dataset facilitates quicker learning for the model, leading to lower computational expenses.

Increased Interpretability – When the input data for the model is clear and consistent, it becomes easier to debug and enhance.

 Step 1: Gather High-Quality Images

The initial step in constructing an effective dataset is to ensure that the images you gather are of high quality and pertinent to the classification task.

Suggestions for Improved Image Collection:

Ensure uniformity in image format (e.g., JPEG or PNG).

Steer clear of low-resolution images or those that have undergone excessive compression.

Ensure the dataset encompasses a variety of angles, lighting conditions, and backgrounds to enhance generalization.

Step 2: Refine Your Dataset

After collecting the images, the subsequent step is to refine them by eliminating duplicates, blurry images, and any irrelevant content.

Cleaning Techniques:  

 Eliminate Duplicates:  

Employ hashing or similarity-based algorithms to detect and remove duplicate images.  

 Remove Low-Quality or Corrupted Images:  

Identify corrupted files or images with incomplete data. Utilize automated tools such as OpenCV to discard images that are blurry or have low contrast.  

 Resize and Standardize:  

Adjust all images to a uniform size (e.g., 224x224 pixels) to maintain consistency during training. Normalize pixel values to a standard range (e.g., 0–1 or -1 to 1).  

 Data Augmentation:  

Enhance variability by rotating, flipping, and cropping images to strengthen the model's resilience to different variations.  

 Step 3: Accurately Label Your Dataset  

Precise labeling is essential for the success of any image classification model. Incorrect labels can mislead the model and lead to diminished accuracy.  

Best Practices for Labeling:  

 Implement Consistent Labeling Guidelines:  

Establish a fixed set of categories and adhere to them consistently. Avoid vague labels—be specific.  

 Automate When Feasible:  

Utilize AI-driven labeling tools to expedite the process. Tools such as LabelImg or CVAT can automate labeling and enhance consistency.  

 Incorporate Human Oversight:  

Combine AI labeling with human verification to achieve greater accuracy. Engage domain experts to review and validate labels, thereby minimizing errors.  

 Employ Multi-Class and Multi-Label Approaches:  

For images that may belong to multiple classes, utilize multi-label classification. Hierarchical labeling can assist in organizing complex datasets.  

 Step 4: Strategically Split Your Dataset  

After cleaning and labeling the data, the next step is to divide the dataset for training and evaluation. A widely accepted strategy is:  

70% Training Set – Utilized for model training.  

15% Validation Set – Used for tuning hyperparameters and preventing overfitting.  

15% Test Set – Reserved for the final evaluation of the model.  

Ensure that the dataset split is randomized to avoid data leakage and overfitting.

Step 5: Monitor and Enhance  

Your dataset is dynamic and will require regular updates and refinements.

Tips for Continuous Improvement:  

Regularly incorporate new images to ensure the dataset remains current.  

Assess model performance and pinpoint any misclassified instances.  

Modify labeling or enhance data if you observe recurring misclassification trends.  

 Concluding Remarks  

The process of cleaning and labeling your image classification dataset is not a one-off task; it demands ongoing attention and strategic revisions. A meticulously organized dataset contributes to improved model performance, expedited training, and enhanced accuracy in predictions.
