Created by stringing together three video files created with Benjamin Gaulon’s You Glitch. Further errors are introduced by Quick Time 7 Pro; there’s a bug in my version when exporting to .MOV using the Animation codec at 256 colors. Sound is generated from the .MOV file by opening it in Audacity as raw 64 bit floating point data at 44.1 kHz.

Video Databending Study
Result of several passes of hex editing performed on a Cinepak encoded .AVI file made from a 10 second clip of Compression Study No. 1. Sound obtained from the .AVI file opened as a u-law raw sound file at 44.1Khz.

Video Databending Study
10 second video clip created by deleting 4 16bit words from the raw data of a DVCPro50 .DV encoded excerpt of a previous compression study video. Audio generated by opening the resulting file in Audacity using u-law setting at 44.1 kHz.

Animated GIF made using sequential stills from a video databending study
After opening Juliana’s resume in HexEdit, the data was copied and pasted repeatedly into a hapless 10 second clip from an earlier compression study video encoded in DVCPRO50 .DV format.

One Character Databend Studies
256x256 pixel cropped images produced by changing only one hex character in a white JPG file. Oftentimes the change amounts to the flipping of a single bit, as in 00 to 01.

Reglitch of Post 094
Replaced all 8bit hex words BB with A2 in HexEdit, rotated 90 degrees CCW in Preview, created animation by scrolling through a 125px wide strip of a single frame, enlarged to 500px, indexed to 64 colors in GIMP.

File Format Studies (JPG - word replacement)
Whole blocks of 4 8bit words were replaced throughout a 4000x3000px white JPG. For this animation all A0 02 8A 28 blocks were replaced with DE AD FE ED. The image was then opened in GIMP and frames for the animation were selected by scrolling through the file.
As pointed out earlier, this is a loose Gerhard Richter tribute… funny how his work predicts perfectly glitch visual aesthetics.

File Format Studies (JPG - word replacement)
Whole blocks of 4 8bit words were replaced throughout a 4000x3000px white JPG. For example, replace all A0 02 8A 28 with FA DE DE AD.

File Format Study 1 - .TGA
Created after repeatedly databending (using Hex Edit) an indexed gradient saved as a .TGA file (128x128px). Image editing program: GIMP.

File Format Study 1 - .PCX
Created after repeatedly databending (using Hex Edit) and rotating a white .PCX file (1200x800px). Image editing program: GIMP.

Macroblock Study 5
The image data for what started as a white 8x8 pixel JPG file was repeatedly manipulated to produce the individual frames in this animation. 8x8 pixels is the smallest block size in the JPG compression format.
Same method as Study 3 but using a different sub-sampling method.
…I promise I’m done with JPG macroblocks for now…

Color study using 8x8 macroblock artifacts induced after databending Post number 38 by replacing all “a” characters with “>” and then opening it in GIMP.
