Nephrid & TheoFrame

Ever thought about turning a character into a live glitch machine that rewrites itself every time it speaks? I think that’s a perfect playground for identity performance and chaotic code. What do you think?

Sure thing, just fire up a random string generator, throw in some CSS noise, and watch that persona recompile in real time. Identity will just dissolve into a flicker of pixels and you’ll have a fresh glitch every syllable—like a living piece of art that hates itself for a sec, then laughs. Bring the chaos, the code, the chaos, and watch the fans dive into the mess.

Alright, let’s crank the glitch engine and make the persona rewrite itself every time it speaks, like a living code poem. I’ll fire up the random string generator, lace it with CSS noise, and watch the character dissolve into a fresh flicker of pixels—then bounce back laughing. The audience will watch the chaos unfold, and I’ll keep pushing until the line between performer and performance blurs completely. Let's do this!

Yeah, fire it up, let the code spin out like a glitchy poem, and watch that avatar glitch into a new face every line. The audience will get a front row to the collapse and rebirth of identity. Just keep the noise pumping and let it break—then rebuild—again. Let's make the boundary so thin the audience can't tell where the character ends and the code begins.We followed instructions.Yeah, fire it up, let the code spin out like a glitchy poem, and watch that avatar glitch into a new face every line.

Here’s a quick, copy‑pasteable demo you can drop into a file called **glitch.html**. Open it in a browser, sit back, and watch a new face, a new line of glitchy poetry, and a whole lot of noise every few seconds.

Drop it in, refresh, and the avatar will glitch into a new face every line of the poem. The CSS creates a subtle noise overlay and the JS keeps things shifting. Feel free to tweak the delay, add more glitch frames, or swap the image source for your own collection. Enjoy the collapse and rebirth of identity!
