DANDERSPRITZ dksy Woven Throw by Glitch Textiles

The design is made by visualizing a section of code from the DANDERSPRITZ post-exploitation framework attributed to the Equation Group (NSA). The code was developed by the NSA and leaked by the Shadow Brokers in 2017.

DANDERSPRITZ is advanced, state-sponsored malware used for espionage by what the industry calls an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT). APTs are highly skilled and well resources hacking groups that focus on selective targets for a sustained period of time.

Testing some alternative solutions to display the AI portraits part of D.B.🥀🪞| THƏ L∆B ØF ∆NØM∆LIƏS.

I have picked one portrait and AI generated a 3D mesh of it. I then recorded the mesh in a wireframe view while it was spinning. I converted the video sequence into an .AVI file using SVQ1 codec. I then glitched the new video sequence in Audacity. I blended (Overlay in AE) the glitched clip with the original AI portrait and created this video.

Hot or not, I don't know, but glitching is a practice that eases my mind, a sort of therapy, every now and then I need to shoot some glitches in my day. Glitch Junkie.

I. Project Workflow: Portrait to Glitched Video

A. Input:

1. Portrait Image (Single Still Image)

B. Processing Stages:

1. 3D Mesh Generation:

* AI-powered conversion of the portrait into a 3D mesh.

2. Wireframe Capture:

* Recording of the 3D mesh in a wireframe view.

* Mesh rotation during recording.

3. Video Encoding:

* Conversion of the recorded wireframe sequence into an .AVI file.

* Codec used: SVQ1.

4. Audio Glitching:

* Import of the .AVI video sequence into Audacity.

* Application of glitch effects to the video data (treated as audio).

5. Video Compositing:

* Software used: Adobe After Effects (AE).

* Blending of the glitched .AVI clip with the original portrait image.

* Blending mode: Overlay.

C. Output:

1. Final Glitched Video.
