Martijn van Boven It can't be an RGB delay since the facial expressionswithin all the RGB channels are equal and the offset between each RGBchannel is equal as well. To my knowledge when you create a RGB delay youcan create a variable distance between each RGB channel since it's a temporalparameter, RGB shift is fixed…. just my two cents Ro

Menkman Bob - I was actually already fighting with this questionearlier today: is datamoshing technologically defined (href: the way youdescribe it in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYytVzbPky8), or can the termbe used more freely for any video effect that has been implemented within thea particular discourse of videos?

While the paperrad video "Umbrella Zombie Mistake" (href: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxFeesWL5OI) kickstarted thediscussion around 'datamoshing', the first artifacts in the video that appear onthe face of Rihanna are not classic (technologically defined) datamosh artifacts,- they are dropped pixels from an flash video compression (they have nothingto do with macroblocks and i/p/key frames). So: since this video started the discourse on datamoshing, could these artifactsstill be called datamoshing ?(personally I think no - because those artifacts were never referenced in thediscourse around datamoshing and i like to define datamoshingtechnologically)

What about videos such as https://vimeo.com/9657844 that do have to do withmacroblocks but do not have the right compression, is that still datamoshing?or a glitch JPEG image sequence (also macroblocks) such as used in most ofJon Satroms work?

In short. Is datamoshing restricted to specific compressions (and if yes, whichones), or is it a term that is used for videos existing within a certain discourse /style or genre of work (or even group of people)?

__________________________________________________________________

Case studies for the issues around the terminology (which is why i starteddoubting a clear tech-definition):

http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/datamoshing"Datamoshing is the practice of intentionally using compression artifacts indigital video and animated GIFs that is sometimes to referred to as “glitch art.”"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact"The minimization of perceivable artifacts is a key goal in implementing a lossycompression algorithm. However, artifacts are occasionally intentionallyproduced for artistic purposes, a style known as glitch art[1] or datamoshing.[2]"12 December 2013 at 01:46 · Edited · Like

Luuk Van Huët Well, that's too rich for my blood 12 December 2013 at 01:52 · Like

Bob Weisz well I can say what we were using "datamoshing" to describewas that specific, technological definition of delta frames being put in placeswhere they weren't supposed to be. That doesn't result in a specific visualglitch though, it could be the classic part-of-the-frame-is-moving-in-a-way-it-shouldnt-be or that frozen swirl of fingerpainty colors or some other as-yet-undiscovered output, but those are all, to me, datamoshing.

I understand the backlash against the term (we actually loved it because it wasmeaningless and stupid), especially by those artists who'd been doing theeffect for years. Some argued that it should be called what they called it andwhat it technically is: "compression artifacting." But I always thought that termwasn't limiting enough, specifically because it could technically describe yourMacroblocking video or the dropped flash pixels from the Paul B Davisexperiment (which I never even noticed until you just pointed them out!). Again,I understand the need to respect both the history and the technicality of a term.

This is all not to say that people aren't using datamoshing in even more generalways than that, almost as a synonym for all video glitch art. I disagree with thatuse, but if that's what the term comes to mean for most people, then that's whatthe term will mean. I believe in language being defined by the bottom-up morethan the top-down.12 December 2013 at 01:56 · Edited · Unlike · 3

Bob Weisz Hah, that Know Your Meme explanation is as un-thorough asyou'd expect, neglecting the Chairlift video and any other instance ofdatamoshing before the Murata youtube upload, but also in the examples, theNicholas Cage one isn't even datamoshing (supporting one side of your initialquestion) but rather seems to be an exploitation of Photoshop's Content-AwareFill feature, something I'd messed around with a bit with videos to see ifanything cool would happen, but kept striking out. Guess all I needed wassome Nicholas Cage.12 December 2013 at 02:01 · Unlike · 2

Bob Weisz Also further into that wikipedia article, in the "Artistic Use"section, they define it pretty close to how I do: "In video art, one technique isdatamoshing, where two videos are interleaved so intermediate frames areinterpolated from two separate sources." They go on to mention othertechniques, but don't give them a name, further showing that datamoshing isjust a subset of compression artifacting that goes about it in a specific delta-frame-abuse kind of way.12 December 2013 at 02:04 · Unlike · 2

Bob Weisz OH AND it looks like the above line from wikipedia is cited from...your original datamoshing blog post! http://rosa-menkman.blogspot.com/.../from-compression... <-which proves to be the mostbrief-but-thorough cataloging of the effect's popularity! (though sorry, I didn'trealize it wasn't technically a glitch! sorry I've been saying that for so long in somany venues...)

Menkman Bob - if i remember correctly Paperrad coined the term'datamosh' and they hated it later, but maybe its much better than a drytechnological definition (glitch art as a term has always been scrutinizedbecause its a technological term for something that has later become an artgenre, and not strictly technologically defined but more metaphorically)

Besides that - I think we have to at least consider the popular ('know yourmeme') opinion ... seeing as it has become quite a populist/popular form / effect

But yea, I am happy you are also for a more technologically containeddefinition. Still wonder what compressions should actually be counted as

Ironically they deleted the word "datamosh" from the title at some point inthe internet hubbub that ensued after the Kanye video dropped. It's funnybecause that video was also our direct inspiration for figuring out how todatamosh.

Jon Satrom I agree with Tom && Bob... When I think "moshing," I think of abunch of Muybridge's horses in a pit dancing to the new-reality of non-frame-based-media... Purrflux was frame-by-frame JPG glitching... Interesting convoabout how definitions (i-frames) can be compressed culturally (b-frames)... 12 December 2013 at 04:08 · Like · 2

Andrew Benson Great thread! I've also always thought of "datamoshing" asa pretty specific technical process term. For a couple years I would get bent outof shape for people calling my video (and the related code and patches I'vepublished) "datamosh" because that wasn't my process or interest, eventhough I can see the visual similarity with my feedback work and the process isvaguely related. I often have students ask me how to datamosh and I have togo back to those youtube tutorials to find out.12 December 2013 at 05:20 · Unlike · 3

Tom Butterworth Bob and Andrew covered it but I agree - I use it as atechnical term so something can look like datamoshing but one can point tovisual features or be told about its production to decide that it isn't. lookaliketechnique == fakamosh?12 December 2013 at 10:26 · Like

Menkman Oh yes!!! Yea, you used it too -- sooo beautiful! what did you use, I am quit sure is the same effect as used in the Kanye video,looks very similar.12 December 2013 at 12:50 · Like

Sophie Gateau As other people said, it's shifting the R, G and B channel intime (and for some shots, even using different shots for each channel). Noplug-in, just decomposing the picture and recompositing it.12 December 2013 at 12:52 · Unlike · 1

Bob Weisz Oh yeah and the initial question by the OP! I agree with Sophieand others. It could be an effect applied, but also could very easily just be three(mirrored) layers on top of eachother, each with only one color channel turnedon. This is most likely because the Blue channel in your screencapture doesn'thave an alpha channel (might even just be the original footage with a blue huelayered over it) while the Green and Red dopplegangers have all their otherchannels set to the alpha.

And same for later in the video, during the color bars part, that could be it's owneffect though it would still be pretty darn easy to make one of thoseDelay/Flash/Trail effects (i still don't know what to call THAT effect... anyoneknow?) and tweak each frozen layer to exhibit a different color...
