explorations in digital code manipulation of various image files to create ğlíTçh-ãrT <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/digital_interrupts_blog_t_tee_shirts-235282611530611590">MERCH</a>
FILENAMES ARE FEATURED AS CAPTIONS BELOW FILE
[rec] = file recovered with.. — http://www.officerecovery.com/pixrecovery/
all notations BEFORE ‘[rec]‘, are the corruptions i have done to the file.
all notations AFTER ‘[rec]‘, are the file type they have been saved as.
all notations BEFORE the FIRST ‘+’, is the original file name.

i tinki it uneccessary to include original files in this post.
these files have been corrupted to the point of ‘greydeath’. the image has been manipulated to the point that no image viewing software can decypher the image, and instead replaces the area in question with a blankcolour fill.
the recovery software, then tries to draw together the minor amounts of information remaining to guess as to what the image SHOULD look like. but due to the deliberate nature of the corruption (me), the best it can do is create colour patterns.
see below

.ppm files seem to be composed yellow-pink-cyan stripes

.png is more susceptible to static

here i tried to add parts of another file in a different filetype. it wass to much difference, and created GREYDEATH.the recovery look interesting. it’s a [jpg] file, seemingly meaning the rec software works in blocks rtrying to recover, creating the pattern above.

remTWS = removed trailing white space.
conDOS = convert to DOS format.
this is me trying out the facilities in DIFFUSE.

tiny strip at thye top is the original file.picture of person on beach.
the video doesn’t have the same colour as my slideshow because the playing software that is embedded into youtube, fixes the file to a rasonable degree.similar function to the patch tool in Photoshop, it removes that which seems obviously out of place. you can still see the glitches though.
i took the screenshots in AVS media player, clearly IT does npot care to clean the fil to tese extents.
even when downloaded from youtube via savefrom.net(keepiung the original format.3gp) you still lose the colour when you bring it into AVS.
you’ll just have to believe me that the above slideshw is the effect gained.
files where there appears to be a severely distorted body i have managed to merge two files (:D).
i inserted the chopped video file into ‘avs media converter’ http://www.avsmedia.com/downloads.aspx , then took screenshots of frames. this seems to create files similar enough to eachother that visual content can be SNUCK in effectively, the above results.
normally the inputting of a different file causes only corruption or a field of grey, black, or static, which i will hereforth call ‘greydeath’.
i used Diffuse software for the above images. cutting lines of code from different files into it, hoping to get features of THAT file to appear. it doesn’t work like that though. the encodings at the top and bottom of the file are what determine what can be SNUCK into the middle.
code is written left to right, the same way we would with pen in hand. thus, any corruptrions of the file, are horizontal. above you see my attempts to turn the file to effect it from another angle. any attempts to turn it less than 90degrees, creates a void of whitespace to the file, and makes any displacements unappealing thereforth. will include examples of this happening.
