Data Bending and Glitch/Techno-visual Poetry

Data bending is prominent process in my current practice. Data-bending is the purposeful creation of glitches or malfunctions in a media file, by manipulating it or reinterpreting it from one file format to another.
this process works for me as a tool to express the inadequacy of this media as a surrogate for bodily presence or as a proxy for meaningful communication.
I've experimented with data bending images, videos and sounds, but I am most interested in using this process to create Glitch/Techno-visual poetry.











I then experimented with creating poetry , using exclusively sentences found on comment sections of websites.
So far I've experimented with the simple format of the haiku.
These poems try to exemplify the unique behavior and language that occurs when people become detached or disembodied from their person in digital space.
