A canvas based scanner emulation for producing glitched art
The original way to create scanned effect requires a designer/artitst to possess:
- a physical representation of scan object (photo, print, booty)
- a scanner
The scanned effect is then produced by moving the scan object on the surface of scanner while the scanner is scanning.
As much as the human introduced 'error' is required to produce the effect, the manual movement of a scan object introduces few flaws especially from the perspective of professional application. The flaws being:
- lack of repeatability
- lack of fine control
And from the less professional perspective:
- dependency on extra hardware (printer/scanner)
You need to have node.js with up to date npm to develop this project.
