As mentioned in the previous post, we talked a lot about digital photography and databending in class. But we didn't only analyse it and saw examples, instead we also got the opportunity to experiment a bit on our own, which really helped to get a better understanding for glitch and databending.
So we started of by something really easy, and just took a picture from online which we then transformed into glitch art by using a text editor program,
Basically, we saved the image as .bmp, then opened it in the text editor and just made a few changes (copied a few lines, then pasted them at a different place). Afterwards, we just opened the image again and the result is this:
Initial Image:
Glitch:
After that, we did some databending using 'Audacity'. I took the same picture as before, then imported it into 'Audacity', which basically transformed the picture into a sound (not a really nice one though). Then I just modified the sound a bit, added some echos, etc... before exporting the file and transforming it into .bmp again. I thought the result would be much more significant than it actually is, because on my finally image you can't really see a lot of changes, but it was nevertheless a really interesting experience to actually transform a picture into a sound!
