• Spits out sequentially glitched variations
• Evaluate status as art (subjective)
  • If necessary, go back to step 1
• Profit (in aesthetic pleasure)

File mode...

> python glitch_random.py --mode file --input <path/to/jpeg> --output <path/to/output/dir>

Flickr mode...

> python glitch_random.py --mode flickr --input <keyword/s> --output <path/to/output/dir>

e.g.

> python glitch_random.py -m flickr -i "david bowie" -o ./glitched

> python glitch_random.py -m file -i ./twin_peaks.jpg -o ./glitched
