Here you are

Welcome to POGTRAC. We are a community of artists, researchers, and enthusiasts who find beauty where the system fails.

Data Manipulation — Databending, raw byte editing, and sonification of binary files.
Visual Artifacts — Pixel sorting, datamoshing, and video compression exploits.
Hardware & Signal — CRT scanning, analog feedback loops, and vintage gear hacks.

We share tools, custom scripts, research, and open calls for anyone exploring the outer edges of computer graphics and hardware logic.

Pixel sorting is a technique that takes an image and rearranges its pixels in lines based on their brightness or color. By sorting pixels only in specific areas, it creates smooth, liquid-like streaks across the picture.

Data Bending is a technique that involves opening non-text files, such as images or videos, in a text editor or audio software to intentionally manipulate their raw binary code. By altering, deleting, or injecting bytes, it corrupts the file's structure in unpredictable ways, creating surreal digital glitches, color bleeding, and abstract geometric artifacts.
