Ive explored data-bending and data-moshing.
I started off by using Audacity, which I originally thought of as a simple audio editing platform, i discovered that you can import files as RAW data. Using any sort of file in your computer and converting that into audio, then editing that audio with effects, time stretching, etc. And then exporting the file as the original extension not as audio.
Meaning that a .mp4 or a .jpeg file can be edited as audio an exported as a video or photo file.
This is crazy, all files are 0 and 1’s. So a wav file and a pdf are in their core the same thing. This gave me some fun and experimental digital techniques.
