This post marks the official release of GlitchBot!

Since GlitchBot has its own page here on Bit_Synthesis, I won’t go into too much detail (just check out the above link). A brief overview follows the slideshow.

GlitchBot is an automated glitch creation program / persona that specializes in glitching still images on flickr.

GlitchBot uses appropriately licensed images from other flickr users as source material for its glitches, which it then uploads to its own flickr page.

GlitchBot creates a new image every day, usually just after 1:00 pm EST.

GlitchBot is written in the Ruby programming language, and utilizes Upflickr for uploading and organizing its images.
