Glitching Pictures with Audacity

[Icelogist]

Did you know that you can trick Audacity into importing a picture as a sound wave? Me nether but found it really fascinating and wanted to share it with you.


There exists a decent tutorial on how to do it:

And Documented results of what each effect does:

woah, i didn't know this was possible either. the results are really cool; i can see these effects being useful for a horror project because some of them are really creepy

Ohh thanks for sharing this is super cool! I will need to try this out.

...Ooooh damn how badass would it be to incorporate that into art huh... *thinking*

[SilkSkull]

This is super cool! I'll post some results after

It's been a few days, how are the results?

I completely forgot about uploading those 

Here are the results!

So I decided to do some of my favorite movie posters!

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas I think this one turned out really cool!



Next was Kill Bill. It didn't come out super crazy but I love the look



Last was The Matrix. This turned out the most tame but was still neat




But I lied, there is a secret third image, the title screen for Super Mario 64. This one genuinlly gives me the creeps and reminds me of the old SM64 creepypastas. View at your own risk. (I'm so dramatic)

Glitch art was actually what I made my first site for, though I didn't go very far with it. That is however, how I got my username and pfp. Here's one of my first pieces: (excuse the bad gif animation, this was my early days of starting with GIMP)

I think I can see where your name came from. I like the examples.
