Datamoshing

So it looks like we have a new visual-FX device.

I first saw this used in Becks's 'Youthless' video a few months back and wondered when it would rear it's ugly-beautiful head again. Takeshi Murata has been using it in his art for ages and the term "datamoshing" (the effect that fakes the glitches that happen when video is compressed) was first coined by the Youtuber, paperrad. But, no doubt, we'll now see it everywhere from Channel U to Hollywood, after Kanye's jumped on board.
