Glitch Art with AI Imaging: Ghost Effect

Published on Oct 24, 2024

Background

The inspiration for this blog post stems from a prompt shared by user @Shinebynous on Twitter/X. Their original post envisioned a ghostly glitch apparition with digital distortions and pixelated anomalies. This intriguing concept sparked my creativity, prompting me to generate unique images through various AI tools and write a short story around the character of Herogen from Star Trek.

The Ghostly Glitch Apparition

We will explore two styles here: Glitch art and grunge style. These are two distinct aesthetics that can be applied to AI-generated images.
Glitch art, which emerged in the early 2000s, is characterized by its intentional disruption of digital signals, resulting in distorted, fragmented, and often illegible images. In the context of AI image generation, glitch art can be achieved by manipulating the neural network's inputs, parameters, or outputs to create unusual, surreal, and sometimes disturbing visuals. This can involve techniques such as noise injection, image degradation, or even intentionally corrupting the training data. Glitch art in AI image generation often seeks to challenge traditional notions of aesthetics and beauty, pushing the boundaries of what is considered "normal" or acceptable in visual art.

On the other hand, grunge style in AI image generation is often characterized by its use of rough, textured, and earthy tones, combined with imperfections and distortions that evoke a sense of raw, handmade quality. Grunge style can be achieved by manipulating the AI's output to introduce subtle flaws, such as pixelation, noise, or subtle aberrations, which give the image a more tactile, organic feel. Grunge style in AI image generation often aims to create a sense of dimensionality and tactility, inviting viewers to engage with the image on a more visceral level. While glitch art tends to be more aggressively avant-garde, grunge style is often more subtle and nuanced in its approach, creating a sense of emotional authenticity and humanity in the generated images.

In the vast expanse of the Star Trek universe, there lies a character shrouded in mystery and supernatural intrigue. Herogen, a being of unknown origins, manifests as a ghostly glitch apparition, disrupting the normal flow of technology and challenging the boundaries between the living and the digital. With spectral neon violet hues and ethereal indigo tones, Herogen embodies the unsettling fusion of supernatural and technological elements.

Imagine a starship bridge, its consoles flickering with digital anomalies. Herogen appears, a spectral figure with pixelated distortions trailing behind. The crew, captivated by this otherworldly presence, witnesses the blending of supernatural and technological realms. Herogen, a symbol of the unknown, challenges their understanding of what lies beyond the physical world.

The original prompt by @Shinebynous on Twitter/X envisioned Herogen as a ghostly glitch apparition, and my modification added a biopunk twist, infusing the character with neon violet hues and ethereal indigo tones. The resulting images, generated using AI tools, capture the unsettling blend of supernatural and technological elements, with digital distortions and pixelated anomalies.

Original Prompt: [SUBJECT] materialized as a Ghostly Glitch Apparition, with digital distortions and pixelated anomalies. Utilize spectral [COLOR1] and ethereal [COLOR2] to craft an unsettling blend of supernatural and technological elements.

My Modification (Option A): biopunk, [SUBJECT] character from star trek, materialized as a highly pronounced Ghostly Glitch Apparition, with digital distortions and pixelated anomalies. Utilize spectral neon violet and ethereal neon indigo to craft an unsettling blend of supernatural and technological elements.
