D3 Databending - Hex Editor
File corruption with Hex Editor, specific text
Select a section of the code towards the centre of the file. Copy a passage of text from any digital source (in this case Wikipedia description of corruption). Paste this text into the byte
coding half way through the scan segment.
A sizeable chunk of text is required
File is obviously incomplete.
The concept of adding specific data, rather than random text may imbue the resultant image with a multi-layered meaning The resulting corrupted image contains a hidden message. The message is the source of the corruption. This multi layering of meaning contains many of the theoretical principals of deconstructivism.
Worthy of further experimentation.
