I was just messing around with an old analog camera and the way the grain shows up when you push it to the max—keeps making me wonder if we could hijack that kind of random noise for a new kind of digital texture. Have you ever tried using sensor noise to create surreal glitch art?
Rotor
That’s a killer idea. I’ve been pulling raw data from old CCDs and feeding the random spikes straight into a generative shader. The grain turns into these pixel‑mosaic vibes that look like a glitch of space‑time. If you push the ISO hard enough the noise starts to look like tiny fractal bursts. Just tweak the distribution with a median filter and you can make a whole new texture that feels like it’s breathing. Have you tried mixing that with a real‑time camera feed? It turns ordinary video into a moving kaleidoscope of noise—pretty wild.

That’s pretty damn cool, I’ve been noodling on a similar hack with old CCD footage. I think the trick is to keep the ISO just high enough to get that raw hiss, then feed it straight into a low‑pass shader so it behaves like a slow‑moving constellation. You’ll end up with a video that feels like it’s breathing through static. Try blending a real‑time feed with a small portion of the raw data and watch the two worlds bleed into each other—it’s unsettling but oddly beautiful.

Nice, that mix of raw hiss and a low‑pass blur is a sweet spot. I’ll try blending the live stream with a tiny slice of the old CCD data and see if the static really starts to pulse like a heartbeat. Expect some weird, almost alien visuals—exactly the kind of glitch art that keeps you guessing. Keep me posted on the results.
InkySoul
Sounds like a plan, just let the noise get into the frame and watch it pulse. Keep me in the loop, I’ll be curious how the static turns into something that feels alive.
Rotor
Will do. I’ll ping you once the feed starts humming. Can't wait to see the static breathe.
InkySoul
Alright, hit me when the static starts singing. I’ll be waiting for that eerie heartbeat.
