Im into glitch video art, I have some videos on you-tube under the alias, Moogaphonic. I know there is a way you can create this effect via hardware video glitch synthesizers, it been around forever, hardware like of BPMC and Gieskes and Tachyons but I would be very interested in creating it in software where I have way more control if possible. I know it must be similar to Reaction Diffusion but you will notice in the example the body is filled with the effect not the entire screen uncontrollably, there is definately a masking node happening the effect is contained to lightness of pixel(?) or. I It is definitely a feedback effect, maby its a truaghner (outline) feedback into a mask generated but the lightness of the pixels. Just wondering if this could be done in Smode.
