Ed Atkins

Ed Atkins creates digital pieces of art which explore the idea that technology can one day replace human activity. Similar to the work that we’ve created it works on the idea of ‘Almost’, Technology ‘almost’ taking on the role of humans and that software, despite everyone’s blind eye to using it everyday subconsiously that it’s still vulnerable to hacks, glitches and distortions.

My completed image hack after being hacked through three different softwares. I started the hack using TextEdit and deleting parts of the code. I then opened the photo into Photoshop and copied parts of the hack around the image. I opened the photo in Audacity and distorted the sound file before converting it back into the image. I think the final outcome came out interesting and I really enjoyed the process.

I then imported one of my hacked images into Audacity and converted it into a sound file. I then continued to hack the image by distorting the sound using effects such as echo, adjusting the wavelength and inverting. It was interesting to see how distorting the sound effects the image. The sounds it creates are very weird and just sounds like static but it’s interesting to learn that images can be converted into sound files!
