The ESOTERIC MEDIA WORKSTATION is an experimental glitch art generator, multimedia compressor, steganography toolkit, and much more. There are six main tools in the EMW:

- IMAGE ANNIHILATOR: A luminance based pixel sorting tool with plenty of options and optional randomization.
- IMAGE ASSIMILATOR: A quick-and-dirty image blending tool, meant to be used in combination with multiple outputs from the other tools.
- FILE CRUSHER: An image, gif, and audio compressor, custom palette matcher/extractor/organizer, and ditherer/pixelator, with optional randomization. You can even export and import palettes of your own, which it saves via a browser cookie. Includes over 100 of my favorite palettes from Lospec.
- REFLECTOR: A kaleidoscopic tile/mirror/liquid reflection tool, and spirograph toy with a ton of customization and optional randomization as well.
- IMAGE GRAFTER" An image-to-animation stitching tool.
- OBFUSCATOR & ANALYZER: A steganography and media forensics toolkit allowing for hidden information (text, audio, imagery data) to be stored within and recalled from inside another image. Additionally, images/audio can be uploaded to analyze under various conditions for evidence of manipulation as well as the presence of steganographic data. It can even be used to render audio in reverse/pitch shifted/tempo shifted states. 

Simply upload an image to get started. It will be seamlessly passed between the six tools via the handler in the top right. You can also undo changes/randomizations via this panel. For audio, upload it into the specific tool when prompted.
