Raw data are numbers, characters, images or other forms of output.
Computer programs interpret this data based on instructions in the
programming. What happens when these programs do not know how to
interpret this data? What happens if you manually manipulate these raw
data forms of numbers and characters? This deliberate corruption gives
new understanding to how programs render this data, and what happens
when the program doesn’t know how to render it - creating a random,
unpredictable, and unknown aesthetic.
What if the images we see, the videos we watch, the sound we hear were
all in this state of malfunction? What if the things we take for
granted, or have no understanding of simply were corrupted. Would you
become angry at the computer, or would you embrace this error, use it,
manipulate it, produce it willingly?
