Experiments in Data Corruption - Conclusion

Further explorations into the concept of duality may be possible where a multi-layering of meaning or content has manifested itself in a selection of experiments:
• In the experiment with Audacity (D11), the image file is translated by the audio application. The idea that you are able to experience an audio and visual translation of a single image is thought provoking.
• Duality is also present when specific texts are used to corrupt the digital code of an image (D3), the resultant data file becomes a combination of these twin aspects. The text becomes the source of the corruption giving the resulting image a double meaning.
• Another potential route of future exploration is whether it is possible to construct a single corrupted image by combining the code of separate images. What would the resultant image look like, would its appearance be distinct from standard methods of image manipulation?
