chat with bopuc
bopuc: so
u know compression artifacts and glitches when you watch a movie you downloaded and there are bytes missing?
manipulating video to do that purposefully is now… “an art form”

celinecelines:my friend has made an art show with a movie he downloaded that downloaded like that all shitty it was so intense, 2008!
bopuc:yeah
i mean I have seen this effect happen naturally for eyars, shitty MPEGs, jump to a point and watch a scene tears itself appart like that
celinecelines:oui but recently people have been admiring it as art
bopuc:right
someone decided to go in and try to manipulate it
like much art…
celinecelines:you know watching digital tv at my friend’s place these things would occur and i would get hyper and scream “this is art” 2007
bopuc:man tries to reproduce a natural process and control it. no it’s not art until someone does i ton purpose
celinecelines:oui!
bopuc:when it just happens it is nature
celinecelines:the nature of download, is beautiful
