A Technique for Real-time Datamoshing Using Web Camera Input

Abstract

Art making use of digital noise and errors has been exhibited in recent years. Many of these works have been classified as “glitch” and are forming a new trend in multimedia art. “Datamoshing”, using noise or errors in video imagery, is a technique in the field of glitch art. While one can produce a video that is a unique representation of datamoshing, real-time datamoshing using input from web cameras has not been achieved. Software is proposed for using a web camera to extemporarily datamosh video.
