Digital Code Manipulation

Digital code manipulation is a post production method of changing the code at random to alter the image. I was shown this by a friend when I was talking about destroying my film before I took the picture. He mentioned that you can change an image into a BMP file and import it as in audio into Audacity where you can add different effect to the sound then export it back into a bmp file and the image will have changed. 
Although there will always be a gap at the bottom as you cant edit the first 30-60 seconds on the track as that hold the I'm a picture data and if changed wont open afterwards.
I used my images for my 4th shoot to experiment with the this technique
This picture I added an echo to it of 3 seconds at a factor of 0.4, which created this 3 image overlap look, altho looks nothing like my film did when I boiled it.

I used reverb on this image, where it looks like the colours have been slightly altered in the petals of the flowers, which is very similar to the film destruction.
This picture has had noise reduction and a phaser put on it, it came out with a grain on the image , or something that looks like static, I like that it has also brightened the colours a bit, making the white on the dog brighter.

I added a fade out and a repeat onto this image, it looks like it  has been cut and sewn together as it has been halted and moved around.

I like how this turned out, I found that it's not just the film that can have random manipulation added to the picture. Although not exactly the effect of the boiling or the lemon juice, it was a good way to compare the 2 different mediums of film vs digital.
