Manon and Daniel Temkin What follows is the result of an off-and-on confabulation taking place between the authors for over a year—a collaborative attempt to both define and theorize a set of practices that is known by various names: databending, datamoshing, image hacking, and of course glitch art.
These “notes” are not intended to be exhaustive or in any sense final, but instead represent a set of loosely organized postulates that others might revise, debate, critique or extend. 1. Almost invariably, digital imagery greets its beholder in the guise of analog—as a smooth and seamless flow, rather than as discrete digital chunks. A glitch disrupts the data behind a digital representation in such a way that its simulation of analog can no longer remain covert. 2. 3. 4.

StAllio!'s way: databending and glitch art primer, part 1: the wordpad effect. Welcome to my databending and glitch art primer! In part 1, we're going to talk about one of my favorite glitch art effects—the wordpad effect. i'm starting off with this effect because it's so easy that any windows user should be able to do it (note: i haven't tried it in vista), but it's complex enough under-the-hood that it allows me to discuss several important principles of glitch art. but first, let's define a few terms. databending is, in essence, the artistic misuse of digital information. the term is inspired by the similar art of circuit bending ; you could say that databending is like circuit bending with no circuits. the term is used most frequently in the context of electronic music (primarily glitch music ). the most common types of databending are: the wordpad effect: the wordpad effect is a simple glitch effect i discovered a couple years back, with the help of my readers . here's how it works: you take a digital photo like this: pretty dramatic results, eh?
