Re: [microsound] (ot) Digital corruption tools?

[Adam Marks <marks@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

interesting topic, richard.  i can tell you that in my own work, i  
have seen very beautiful digital image distortion as a result of my  
consumer level studio-dv video capture box being seemingly unable to  
lock on a video signal.  it's reminiscent of the occasionally  
terrifying kind of video glitch you will see on digital cable or  
satellite tv images.

this has turned out to be a rather roundabout but fruitful way of  
creating distorted still images that i myself have only begun to  
explore.  make a video of the source images, burn it to dvd, play it  
on my trash-found dvd player, mess with the dvd player circuits,  
thereby resulting in the studio-dv box losing the signal and yielding  
some fancy garbage.

there are some samples here:

if you go down the road of creating image distortion software, this  
may give you some algorithmic inspiration.
