Datamoshing

Hi all,

I found this Vimeo video of real-time datamoshing in TD:
vimeo.com/27496356

Can someone give a breakdown on what exactly is happening in the network? What are the two Switch TOPs controlling? I can parse it vaguely but I don’t have a complete understanding.

The link seems down. I’ve been experimenting with datamoshing in real time too, vimeo.com/285725430
got there via basiclly using a cache top that is saving the ‘i-frame’ and a displace TOP, fed by the optical flow component creating crappy ‘p-frames’

Wow, just checked this post and I’m an idiot. The correct link is here: vimeo.com/274963561

Your datamoshing experiments are amazing! Seems like you have a lot of control over the effect. Could you also elaborate more on how you’re using the Cache and Displace TOPs to produce that?

I would also appreciate some rudimentary advice on datamoshing in TD!

You can Definitely do it with Quartz Composer and this plugin kriss.cx
I would love to see them make a TOP for TD for this
