Datamoshing is how you call the video technique in this music video “Evident Utensil” for the band Chairlift. I would still call it digital glitches, but datamoshing sounds better (than the music in this video). So no, this video is not f*cked up, Ray Tintori of Court 13 who directed it, did it on purpose.

interesting technique, but for the entire song?
how about 10-15 seconds here, a break there, and then another 10-15 seconds for max effect.
also the song is kinda lame.
reminds me of 80s australian pop.
maybe the ‘shrooms i’ve been taking lately aren’t that good.
ugh!
I removed Dennis’ comment. This is what Dennis said in it’s entirety:
Dennis comment
It’s 928 words. Despite Dennis’ argument that you can simply ignore it or read around it, I disagree.
Here is what I wrote, which is again being ignored:
Tyler comment
Once again, its “all about Dennis” – this stream of consciousness writing that kills conversations and fundamentally alters the discourse on this site. Dennis will think I removed his comment (which you can still read in its entirety via the above link) because of the “truth to power” he speaks, or the “uncomfortable truths he exposes”, or the “soft in the head liberal leanings” that he rails against, or the “stupidity and lack of education” we in Ojai all display.
And its not. It’s simply none of those things. Perhaps rainy days and Mondays always get me down, but I am totally annoyed by this, where once again, its always about Dennis.
Perhaps I was too harsh in my comment a few days ago on Raymond’s thread, but I still stand by the general sentiment I was trying to express.
So Tyler, for what it’s worth – I totally support delegating such incessantly off-topic, meandering, self-indulgent and often badgering comments to a “second layer” of visibility. If the comments on the above mentioned thread hadn’t been deleted, everyone could read the admission by Dennis that he really isn’t writing for us, but for his lurker fans out there (real or imagined) who he feels may be inspired by his words. I’m not all that internet savvy, but to me that almost crosses the line into troll-ish, spamming behavior and it is considered rude and isn’t tolerated on many blogs. Your average internet user will understand this and will not make the quantum leap into fearing and accusing censorship.
Linking to his comments (while taking them out of the scope of dialogue that they have little to do with) allows those out there in the virtual world wanting to read his thoughts the ability to do so, all the while allowing everyone else in THIS community the breathing space to “talk” (and listen!) to one another in a smooth, productive and healthy fashion.
Perfect solution! Now can we finally bring down the curtain on this unbelievably inane and ridiculous melodrama???
Ouch. I meant relegate instead of delegate.
I don’t object to being relegated to a “second layer” but you misunderstand if you think I do not write for everyone. I do but you are free to read me or not. If you feel I’m disturbing the correct tone here then a second layer seems a workable solution.
I reread Tyler’s comment which is very well expressed and understandable as far as it goes but there is a greater context which is not addressed. If I were the type of 17 year old which he uses as an example I hardly think the parents would ban the teen from the house especially in a liberal household where freedom of expression and tolerance for diversity is valued. I might expect it in a patriarchal home but not here.
For a month or two now I’ve been limiting myself to 100 words no more than once a day which was apparently working. On Monday last I “renegotiated” because I needed to talk to my “family” with greater freedom and length.
I understand how you might not like my style, attitude and the nature of my ideas and beliefs. I might not like yours either. We can work out a solution unless you assert your authority as boss and ban me.
A second layer sounds like a fair compromise which would allow me to talk at greater length in a style that suits me without offending you or your neighbors and friends. If that’s agreeable how would that work in practice? Would I submit the whole piece here as usual and copy it to my website; and then you provide a link as you did here? Would there be some kind of introductory comment?
Thanks for your kind consideration.
go away and write to your family on your own blog. stop harassing us.
Dennis – the parents in the story didn’t ban the child – you made that up.
Once again, this thread is “all about Dennis,” which was exactly my point in the previous comment I linked to. Sigh.
Thank you, Tyler, for your comment but you are avoiding my question. Gracious mediator that she is, LTOR suggested a “third way” compromise between banishment and speaking in the wrong tone and manner at your “party.” I asked if her “second layer” idea would be satisfactory for you. You have not answered that as yet so while awaiting an answer I will proceed in my usual manner and you are free to implement the suggestion or not.
It is not true that I am ignoring your previous comment which you linked to. I just reread it again. As I said, when you first made it I imposed upon myself a 100 word limit per day which I adhered to for a month or two as I recall. I want to change that because it is cramping my style and furthermore I wish to bring it into conformity with what others are allowed.
I am trying to reach a compromise to avoid being banned. To your credit you have not banned me but others here are calling for just that under the guise of forcing me to write only on my website which is like a patriarchal parent forcing his 17 year old daughter to stay in her room all the time; which is cruel and unusual punishment. I am after all a member of this Ojai community; and the Ojai Post operates within that cultural parameter.
In the context of a free society and the laws thereof you are offering no reasonable explanations for your actions. My tone is reasonable and calm. I believe it’s the force of my ideas that you fear; and very possibly my presence may be impacting you economically and socially.
I am standing up for the important principle of freedom and my sincere desire is that you join me in supporting that.
As far as being the center of attention, be honest; aren’t we all each in our own way? It cannot be otherwise since each of us as individuals look out at the world through the window of our own unique and free consciousness.
Thank you again for your kind consideration and I look forward to an answer with regard to LTOR’s suggestion.
