melonvelope asked: just wondering, how would you go about doing one of these things? like, what programs?

Here is a list of programs used in the creation of the works on YOTG.  I tend to use multiple programs and a collection of tools depending on the artifact/noise/error/glitch/process being explored:

MAC: Textedit, Hex Fiend, GIMP (though you could use just about any program that can open/save/export an image file), Preview, Canon Digital Photo Professional, iMovie, Audacity, Quicktime 7 Pro, VLC, Firefox and Safari, screen capture in OSX.

PC: Notepad, HxD (Hex editor), GIMP, Quicktime 7 Pro, VLC, Chrome, Canon Digital Photo Professional, Pinnacle Studio 14, Audacity.

Hardware: Dazzle Video Capture Device (PC only it seems), Panasonic DVD Player, Olympus C-840 1.2MP camera, Kodack DC 215, 210, 280, and 240 digital cameras, Canon G5, Canon EOS Digital Rebel, Tascam DR-40, Mackie 1202 VLZ.

This list is probably missing a few things, and will surely grow.  There is a possibility I’ll put together a book at the end of the project, documenting all the works and offering details about the techniques and tools involved.
