Artisan Glitch: The Art of Databending
The meaning of craft has significantly changed in a time of digitalisation. With the concept of databending, in which often involves the unpredictable alterations of a media’s target’s behavior. Databending achieves this alteration by manipulating the information within a media file of a certain format, using software designed to edit files of a different format; distortions in the medium typically occur as a result.
(Look at how to make glitch art here)
As databending and new digital mediums are being created, the boundaries between production (produsers) and conception have been removed.
Think only of Yung Jake, who “satirizes viral culture.” through his glitched and changed artforms. Yung Jake wasn’t trying to make a statement about the Internet with E.m-bed.de/d, or his emoji artwork, he was just messing about with the Internet. He uses the internet as a pallet, a medium in platforms in which he creates art that we’ve never seen before.
Till next time,
Jess

Love this article! I really enjoyed your reference to the simpsons! But in addition to that… I had a look at your hyperlink to the glitch generator website and found myself filtering through all my pictures only to find I couldn’t decide on doing just one, but my whole photo library! Thanks for the fun!
