Check out the work of Andrew Ohlmann, who does some great hacking/glitching of videos and games, amongst other things. This post of his on Space Collective really inspired me and tempted me into the world of digital decay early on in this project.

Ohlmann has experimented with editing the code of Super Mario Bros in much the same way as I have been experimenting with images.

“The resulting images and experiences one gets from hacking Super Mario Brothers in such a fashion are glorious. Colors shift at will, Mario walks through walls, music changes when you stomp on an enemy, the background turns into walls and walls of text. When you insert glitches into the game, you decay it in some fashion.”

I find the glitching of these old classic games absolutely fascinating, and cannot help longing for a little byte of this digital, hallucinant world to trickle through into our own…
