No clue why but kinda want to get back into glitch art. Last time I made glitch art I never got past simple databending of opening images in notepad on my phone and corrupting the image file by messing with the data on notepad. So kinda excited to get back into it

→ About the artist: Mazin is an artist, writer, worldbuilder, and experimenter. As a glitch art enthusiast, he is known for his exploration of experimental digital forms and creative databending techniques. His work fuses glitch aesthetics with technology, bringing unique textures and surreal distortions into his art. Also a writer and worldbuilder, Mazin builds narrative backgrounds within his pieces, exploring storytelling alongside his visual techniques. Throughout his journey, he has developed a diverse portfolio, working with an array of methods, from databending and ROM corruption to generative art and analog glitch. Mazin’s work invites viewers to experience a world that is both dynamic and cold, deep and ever-evolving, where glitch and technology converge. As an internet persona, also known as endlessmazin, virtualmazin, datamonger, and m4shinGAN, Mazin engages in numerous experimental projects that push boundaries across diverse digital media. In the visual arts, Mazin is drawn to the beauty of the unexpected. His ten-year journey with glitch art was born from this fascination: the transformation of mistakes into creative experiments, and the evolution of flaws into entirely new worlds. This mirrors his deeper philosophy, that imperfection is not a failure, but a gateway to discovery.

Mazin is an artist, writer, and worldbuilder whose practice spans databending, ROM corruption, generative art, and analog glitch. He's released ten collections before this one, and across all of them there's a consistent approach: working with the material of digital processes themselves, the errors, the artifacts, the textures that appear when data breaks down. ↓

About the artist → @endless_mazin Mazin is an artist, writer, and worldbuilder with ten years of work in glitch art. His practice spans databending, ROM corruption, generative art, and analog glitch, a range of methods built around one consistent idea: that mistakes are material, and flaws are a starting point. His work doesn't stop at the image. Mazin builds narrative backgrounds within his pieces, developing worlds and stories that run alongside the visual work. This combination of image-making and worldbuilding gives his portfolio a depth that goes beyond technique. Over a decade, he has built a body of work that moves across digital media, from early experiments with data corruption to generative systems and AI-assisted processes. Each collection pushes the practice into new territory. Also known as endlessmazin, virtualmazin, datamonger, and m4shinGAN.

2. When and how did you first start experimenting with AI in your art? How has AI evolved your artistic process? When I first encountered AI, it gave me the same excitement I felt years ago when I discovered glitch art. The unpredictability and sense of surprise I loved in glitch techniques suddenly appeared again through AI tools. That inspired me to recreate many of the glitch aesthetics I was passionate about using AI. I began experimenting with ways to reproduce the unique qualities of datamoshing, databending, and analog glitch effects through AI. Eventually, I started combining traditional glitch techniques with AI-generated imagery and animation. I create my own animations with AI and then apply my own effects and processing methods on top. The models I train carry the spirit of old-school glitch aesthetics and often follow movement patterns inspired by classic glitch processes. Since I have spent years working with nearly every major glitch technique, I also use my extensive archive as training material for my models. Glitch art already offers endless experimentation, and when combined with AI, it feels like an infinite rabbit hole. Exploring that space is something I truly enjoy.

1. Who is Mazin Tell us about yourself, your background and how you started creating art? I was a glitch art geek, and that passion eventually led me to become an artist. About fifteen years ago, I discovered glitch art as a hobby. My journey began with simple apps and gradually evolved as I started exploring old-school glitch techniques such as databending, sonification, ROM corruption, hex editing, and analog video synth glitching. A few years ago, I left my long-term job and began working as a full-time artist. Today, I focus on video art, generative art, and AI-based creative practices.

I don’t use GenAI shit. If I need something done I’ll get someone to do it, or I’ll do it muselr. My profile pic was made using Audacity and databending. No AI there either. There is a MASSIVE difference between GenAI and data learning AI that is only in a computer and not a data center. I will never use GenAI.

[001] $DAEMON SPEC Mutating ERC20 artifacts powered by @uniswap v4 hooks. Not static NFT art. Not a token with a picture attached. An immutable protocol where market activity is visualized by onchain generative art & realtime databending. CA: 0x43298327b0249caF5A4942C6951F5Ac6AD7297A0

good morning fams key concept @DAEMONSv4 : these arent your typical static nft. they're mutating on chain artifacts. fun fact: >fully on chain (generative animated svg databending/glitch art). >real time mutations based on trading activity in their uniswap v4 pool. >the more swaps/trades >> the more "corrupted"/changing the art becomes (from clean to glitchy/dark). >you can stabilize, awaken, or evolve your daemon. this is what i know, do you know anything else? cmiiw

think i found a pretty interesting one for people digging deeper than basic PFPs lately @DAEMONSv4 the concept feels way more experimental compared to most NFT launches on the timeline right now → built around @Uniswap v4 hooks → NFTs evolve through actual trading activity → swaps and onchain actions affect the collection itself → animated generative SVG art → onchain databending mechanics basically trying to make the NFTs feel alive instead of static JPEGs sitting in wallets forever → 6666 supply → fair launch definitely worth keeping notifications on for this one #NFT #ETH #Uniswap

I think here is alpha for u : @DAEMONSv4 📌Key features: - Powered by @Uniswap v4 hooks - NFTs can evolve based on trading activity (trades, swaps) on Uniswap v4 - A living collection built on the ERC20 object model, featuring generative animated SVG art and onchain databending 📌Collection details: > Supply: 6666 > Fair launch Follow & turn on notis for more update 👀

I start databending with this as a pdf format file that found in a tumblr and print it ♡ so good memories. Thank u

In addition to the auto-collager app I’m also working on a tool that replicates and expands upon an old audio databending method I devised similar to paulstretching but this stretches sound as image data instead of FFT or granular synthesis.

been quietly building "Artefkt", an WIP image editor focused on glitch art & lo-fi aesthetics. pixel sort, dithering, databending, RGB split, and more. effects stack like a pipeline. themes too.👽 "quick" video of some of the features.

Can you smell the sea? "Cow Clouds" I created this piece based on my photo of a sunrise over the Baltic Sea. The photo was processed using databending and layered editing in Photoshop. 1/1 | in the collection of @RDKLInc on @objktcom
