After the tests I did on image glitching, I really thought that was the way to go on the whole glitching side of the process. I liked how random the glitches were and really helps me have as little control as I can over what comes out to convey what I want to.
However I still feel like that isn't enough. This is meant to be a series of 5 images, and as much as I like the image glitching on those images is a good idea, I also feel that displaying them all in one go with no extra effort put into my presentation may make my photographs lose some of their meaning. So at first I found a link to a tutorial of how to create a hacked codec of a file to create an image glitch in a modified version of ubuntu run from a disc, which can be found here:

However this tutorial is more about glitching video files, and although I could do this with another type of file, it still wouldn't give me the randomizing I want, and I don't have the skills to modify that tutorial myself, nor do I have the time to learn how to do so.
I googled how to randomize images in premiere as I could perhaps use video to display my photographs, however the comments on how good premiere is at handling images as opposed to other applications was not promising, and I was led to another piece of software called ProShow Producer, which is a picture slide show production program that comes with a multitude of features and has some impressive tools such as keyframing and masking, most of which you couldn't find in something like powerpoint. Here is the cheesy promotional video they made for it:
So for now, I am looking at how I could perhaps use this to present my photographs randomly (or at least seemingly randomly) to show my photographs for their true meaning, and from what I have read in forums surrounding what I want to do, it seems that there are a lot of options surrounding my idea.
