Talk:Datamoshing


 * 1) This is a WP:NEO. We are not the place for such.
 * 2) Next to zero notability even in the specialized press. There is some mention of "compression artifacts" but not the name "datamoshing". At the very least the article should be renamed to reflect the more common name (as per WP:NEO).
 * 3) There is not a single reference in the article.
 * 4) As such, this smacks of Original Research, in particular the naming of artists alleged to engage on it. A search for "data moshing" and "Kayne West", for example, returned only one semi reliable source, an MTV interview with the director. This hardly establishes notability.

This article at best deserves to be merged into Compression artifact, but I incline towards delete because of the lack of sourcing. Wikipedia is not a blog. --Cerejota (talk) 07:35, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I added a couple of references.
 * I agree that it is a neo and think whatever can be salvaged should be merged. As David O'Reilly (artist) says it is a neologism for Compression artifacts. -- Quiddity (talk) 19:10, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

"This article at best deserves to be merged into Compression artifact,"

If the technique is new (i.e. "hacking" a DVD in an original way), then it is of interest to artists in that it is a recipe, or at least a theoretical system for achieving artifacts.

I was aware of Paperrad and their video - which I thought was interesting and notable. I;m not sure artifacting is descriptive enough as it implies chance over deliberate manipulation (to produce chance effects or to create a specific effect).

But I don't have any indication that this is new technique without more context which is lacking.(I could fake a real "HACK" using a variety of techniques (displacement maps, mathematical filters). I see there is some discussion in the video/post production community (buzz). I think you'd have to have a peer review before dismissing this.

That is the artists mentioned are digital artists trying to claim data artifacts as their priviledged medium - I dispute only the idea that they are the only ones doing data artifacts as art - though they may be the most notable, the most funded or the most agressive in calling it art and coining the term datamoshing to establish their claim (I'm saying it smells like marketing, which it is).
