Co-Ordination – Data Moshed

An example of data moshing techniques used on a promotional photograph from Voltera’s ‘Co-Ordination’ era.

From line-up changes to getting banned from the USA, industrial rock band Voltera had a rich history itching to be recorded.

This publication is a photographic retrospective of now defunct industrial rock band Voltera that documents album releases, line-up changes, life on the road, lyrics and everything in between.

Varying quality JPGs, YouTube screengrabs and newspaper clippings, the raw grind of Voltera’s music is mimicked visually throughout using techniques like data moshing yet captures their softer side with considered typographic treatment.
