ExtraFile is an open source project by Kim Asendorf.
Many people have been experimenting with broken file formats and codecs to generate glitch and artifacts but Kim Asendorf made the opposite. He created an OS X application to convert standard image formats to 4BC, BASCII, BLINX, CCI, MCF, USPEC, XFF, each with their own properties that sets them apart from commercial formats. His pseudo formats produce artifacts and can be converted back to any standard like JPG, PNG or TIFF.
Kim asked a number of other artists to mangle, hack, reconfigure and exploit these file formats.
