Glitchtober 2026 artists take on the 'Alter' prompt
Original: # Glitchtober2026 Day 8 prompt: "Alter" The glitch effect used here kinda resembles a VHS tape, even though the texture
Day 8 of Glitchtober 2026, the annual glitch-art challenge, carries the prompt 'Alter'. An artist participating in the event shared a piece using a VHS-style distortion effect applied to a distinctly digital texture, noting the deliberately mixed combination of analog-looking and digital elements as their interpretation of 'altering' an image. The piece is drawing modest attention as the month-long prompt challenge continues.
Why now: The Glitchtober challenge is ongoing and each daily prompt is generating new artwork submissions from participants.

Anyway, my idea of "altering" an image was to apply distortion. # Glitchtober #… · Phracker2Art@mstdn.social · 5
