Through Trial and error we will explore the different reactions a computer has to voluntarily corrupting images, videos and audio file, we will create beautiful images and audio visual effects by making our computers go “glitchy lala.”

We will learn how to “Data-mosh” ——> moshing is a technique that allows us to use some information from compressed video files in order to displace pixels in a weird way .

And “Data-bend” ——–> in general , bending is the term used for changing the content of electric circuits and digitall files to a level were they are still functional but diferently .

Also, we will have a brief view and explanation of Nick Briz’s linux distro “the Glitch Codec.”

Yaniv Schonfeld is an interdisciplinary artist working with sound and stage. In his work he uses the discipline of theater, it’s philosophies and theories, as a basis for creating unique musical performances that are neither concerts nor music theater in the traditional sense. Yaniv’s practice focuses heavily on the building of and use of self-constructed instruments which are treated as objects that can be actuated on a stage. The instruments themselves become actors that are part of a unraveling theatrical dynamic between performer, musical object and audience.
