Databending is a type of [[Digital Distortion]] that involves the general technique of intentionally messing with (usually) video files to corrupt their output. There are many, ''many'' ways to perform databending, all with different results and effects. Most commonly, this is done using [[Audacity]] or a corruption tool like Windows Glitch Harvester.

You can also manually edit the file in an improper fashion, such as opening it up in a text editor and changing random values. While this works, it often can be inconsistent and lead to broken results.

[[Datamoshing]] is a common form of this that lets you 'mosh' videos together.
