Using data manipulation technique (data-moshing/data-bending) in MS WordPad, Audacity, and Processing, I create these glitch artworks. Every glitch reveals hidden patterns within the data, transforming it into chaos. This artistic exploration goes beyond aesthetics. It bridges my lifelong passions for art and computer science, showcasing how raw data can be manipulated into powerful artistic expression.
