Datamoshing is the technique of purposefully removing keyframes from videos so that compression artifacts appear. Its pretty uncontrollable unless you really get the science, but most of the time the outcome is pretty sweet.

While the Charlift Video for “Evident Utensil” was the first all-moshing-all-the-time music video, Kanye did his thing and made it “popular” with “Welcome to The Hearbreak…”

A lot of the visuals I throw  at the club are glitchy and distorted… its my style, and i’ve ammassed a nice library of glips (glitchy clips). I don’t have anything datamoshed, but I’m starting to learn the technique so that I can use it at Marcella. The below is a first test of the technique… nothing purposed just a few clips moshed.
