**WARNING VIRGIN GLITCHER IN PROCESS**

Hi, I've started my process by getting lost in the immensities of data-bending. My journey is as follows

GOAL: Visually disrupt identity whilst still maintaining legibility towards the original.

PROCESS: Hex code editing, Text edit manipulation (cnp mostly)

GOAL: Find an aesthetic balance between distortion (noise & artifacting) and original image.

PROCESS: Image as sound editing (audacity effect applications)

So I guess from what you can see I'm trying to find a balance between manipulating the data and retaining some legibility towards the original. One of the more interesting things I found was that borrowing code from one image and inserting it into another image gave some really interesting effects. Most obviously seen in my #2 experiement.

GOAL: Create new aesthetic from two images.

PROCESS: Combine/ merge two files using Audacity.

Then I got a little carried away with experiementing between audacity data bending, the mashups and making animated gif's of the experiements... see below
