Blackhelium

This time I tried it using found footage, which I realize does not work as well. Maybe its the quality of the footage I used (I took the images directly off the screen with my camera). But I think datamoshing works best with clear, high quality images to cut through all the fucked-upness. Otherwise you just get fucked-up… which is never a bad thing really. But keep in mind, things appear more fucked-up if they’re working in tandem with non-fucked-up things…anyways its still pretty fucked-up.

So this is my first attempt at datamoshing. I used some Helium recordings and deconstructed them to make them sound nothing like the original, but i think goes well with the visuals. More datamosh vids to come as they are fun to make. Although working on them for too long makes one feel a tad seasick and psychopathic.
