data•mosh (pit)
Datamospit interrogates the ontology of the digital image by engaging the aesthetic potential of technological failure. Through processes of intentional data corruption—commonly known as datamoshing—the work destabilizes the presumed immutability of the digital file, revealing the material contingency of code itself. In allowing compression algorithms to collapse and temporal boundaries between frames to dissolve, the artist exposes a liminal zone where information ceases to signify and instead begins to express.
The work positions the glitch not as error, but as epistemological rupture—a moment when the digital medium reveals its own constructedness. Datamoshpit thus operates as both a critique and celebration of digital culture: a meditation on entropy, frequency, and the aesthetics of malfunction in a world increasingly governed by seamless technological interfaces. It asks: when data speaks in tongues, what truths emerge from the noise?
