D11 Databending - Audio Editor
Image file corruption with Audacity 1.3.12

Audacity treats the image file is an audio file, Audacity will display linea waveform and timeline.
Avoid tampering with the ‘head’ by highlighting the waveform from 3 - 5 seconds into the file.
Menu > Effect > Echo. Leave default settings > OK

Interesting levels of corruption
Multiple fragmentatiobn. Evidense of horizontal & vertical disruption
Wild colour shifts and shearing. Addition of some form of digital noise

Using alternative audio effects may produce different results.
Using multiple channels it may be possible to combine images.
The fact that an image becomes an audio file & can be experienced as sound is interesting.

Worthy of further exploration
