Datamoshing Workshop with Rosa Menkman
Published
Can hacking the innards of a file give you insight into how the underlying data works? How to unlock the aesthetic of a digital file? In this third, and last, workshop is the workshop series Digicraft, we will look into exactly these questions.
Rosa Menkman will give a workshop in “datamoshing”. Datamoshing, or databending, is a complex technique where the movement in one layer of video is applied to another layer of footage, using lossy compression and removed frames to create a glitchy, psychedelic result. Think of what it looks like when your Netflix stream is dragging and creates a ghost image transition.
Datamoshing is the practice of intentionally using compression artifacts in digital video and animated GIFs that is sometimes to referred to as “glitch art.”
