Final Project Proposal

Still in idea/testing phase:
At this point I am interested in exploring the very essence of digital video and how it is at its core just an amalgamation of tiny squares that we perceive as an image.  Unlike analogue capture mediums such as film, digital video is not necessarily a reflection of what enters the capture device, and digital images can be contrived entirely artificially.  To accomplish this point, I am going to try to use data bending (Data sonification via Audacity) and audio synchronization software (Pluraleyes) to manipulate video signals into entirely constructed digital images.  In theory, the data bending will remove familiarity of still images, and the synchronization software will manipulate time and destroy any sort of narrative relationship between images.  Another interesting possible result of this experimental process is the possibility of the completely coincidental creation of an array of pixels that can be perceived by viewers of the piece as being or resembling something from our world as we experience it.
Process:  
1.  Acquisition of source image material.
​2.  Conversion/interpretation of source image material into audio editing platform.
3.  Forced "Synchronization" of audio layers.
4.  Export raw data.
5.  Generate series of images from new data using Adobe Photoshop architecture.
6.  Sequencing of images as frames via a NLE.

Possible additional processes:
-Randomized pixel generation
-Other manipulation and arrangment via Processing Language
