1. Datamoshing an experimental video technique where the I-frames or key-frames of a temporally compressed video are removed, causing frames from different video sequences to bleed together.

    One of the examples we discussed in class of applying datamoshing to work was this music video, “Evident Utensil” for the band Chairlift, directed by Ray Tintori of Court 13.

  2. Inclass Glitch Art Workshop

    Glitch art is an experimental type of art where digital or analog errors are intentionally made by either corrupting digital code/data or by physically manipulating electronic devices. The term is thought to derive from the German glitschig, meaning ‘slippery.’

    In our inclass workshop, we manipulated a scanner to create glitch art from typography. We also filmed short videos using datamoshing.

    What movement of your paper on the scanner produced the best result?

    What other experimental glitch art techniques have you tried?

    Why is glitch art an important experimental tool?
