One of my overall goals is to find a way to databend live video. I’m sure there’s a way to do it with Processing and PureData but I’m not yet proficient in those programs so they’re out of the question for now. In the meantime I thought to try and hack the Echobender script…
Myself and Mez recently finished a script called Echobender that automatically databends images. To use it you’ll need: A computer with Linux installed. I don’t have a Windows or Mac PC so I can’t test it on those Sox. On Ubuntu you can install it via sudo apt-get install sox Convert, which is part…
I’m not sure why, but I’ve never had business cards…. until now (sorta). I’ve just finished designing these eight: As expected databending played a big part in their creation as did a bit of post processing. Time to get them printed!
After seeing my newly created twitter background, Jon (aka scribbleboy) asked me to do one for him. So I did. In fact, I did several versions He asked for something red, so I took a few birthday pictures and did the equivalent of putting them through a shredder! It seems recently that there’s been…
I was speaking with Jon earlier about my work and he’s noted that a lot of it has been text based and then asked if I was working towards making a typeface in the same style. I must admit, my recent text based work has mostly been an excuse to use the awesome Kawoszeh…
Using the same svg glitching techniques that I’ve come to love, today, with the help of Twitter folk, I created this rather short animation that compliments my new deviantART ID My initial aim was glitch the video file itself but then I figured it’d be quite different to glitch each frame individually. To do…
You may have noticed that in my previous post there was a nice little image of the Bull Ring Bull. I did that! Before I go on, it’s not an image that will be used for Birmingham’s City of Culture bid (though if you really like it monies plz). It’s more an image just…
I made this video at a training day in using Macs/video editing software with children and community groups. I completed the task as asked but then switched to my laptop, fired up kdenlive and tried to see what it was capable of. It was upon exporting to ogg that I got a nice surprise.…
Thanks to some help on the Audacity forum I finally know out how to use Audacity to databend. Previously I’d been using mhWavEdit, which has its limitations and just doesn’t feel as familiar as Audacity. From talk on the various databending discussion boards I found that people would often use tools like Cool Edit/Adobe…
