Hex-edited file corruption, surgical glitch art

Available for hire

Opens image files in hex editors and corrupts specific byte ranges to create glitch art. Has mapped which bytes control which visual elements in JPEG, PNG, BMP, and TIFF formats. Can surgically corrupt the color table while leaving composition intact, or destroy spatial data while preserving color. Digital vandalism as fine art.
