faq MOSH — Frequently Asked Questions
last updated · August 2, 2026 General & platform overview
What is MOSH?
MOSH is a real-time, browser-based audio-reactive visual instrument. It turns your live camera feed or uploaded images/videos into dynamic, beat-synced glitch art using advanced WebGL GPU shaders. Is MOSH free to use?
Yes! MOSH offers free access to its core real-time glitch and audio-reactive instrument in your web browser. Optional Supporter upgrades ($4.99 one-time) and physical gear are available at aestheticrebellion.store to fund ongoing GPU shader development. Who created MOSH?
MOSH was built by visual artist and creative coder Dyes Mavis. It serves as the digital visual arm of Aesthetic Rebellion, a project bridging real-time software art and physical glitch aesthetics. Do I need to install software or apps to run MOSH?
No installation is required. MOSH runs natively in any modern WebGL2-enabled web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) across desktop and mobile devices. What makes MOSH different from traditional video filters?
Unlike static video filters, MOSH generates visuals dynamically in real time. It processes live audio frequencies and beat pulses directly through custom WebGL shaders to distort and datamosh imagery synchronously with sound. Features & audio-reactivity
How many visual GPU effects does MOSH offer?
MOSH includes 142 real-time GPU effects, ranging from datamoshing and scanline CRT overlays to liquid color bleeds, bio-flickers, and audio-reactive displacement maps. How does audio reactivity work in MOSH?
MOSH utilizes the Web Audio API to detect frequency bands, pitch, and beat pulses from your microphone or playing system audio. It maps these sound parameters to shader uniforms, driving real-time visual shifts synced to music. Can I upload my own images or videos to MOSH?
Yes! You can drag and drop images, paste images from your clipboard, or upload local files directly into the interface to apply live datamosh effects. Can I use MOSH with my device's live webcam?
Yes. MOSH connects directly to front-facing or rear cameras on desktop, mobile, and tablet devices to turn your live camera feed into an audio-reactive visualizer. Does MOSH support touch and haptic feedback?
Yes! Mobile and tablet users experience tactile haptic responses during interaction and preset toggles. How to use MOSH & workflows
How do I start moshing with my live camera?
Tap the primary MOSH button on the homepage, select Start Camera, grant camera permissions in your browser, and begin manipulating live visuals. Why is my camera blocked or not working?
Camera access can fail if permissions are denied or another application (Zoom, FaceTime) is using it. Ensure permissions are allowed in your browser address bar and close conflicting apps. Can I paste an image directly into MOSH?
Yes! Simply copy any image to your clipboard and press Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V) anywhere on the MOSH homepage to start processing it instantly. What is the "Forge" in MOSH?
The Forge is MOSH's experimental workspace where creators can customize, chain, and fine-tune GPU shader parameters for custom visuals. How do I save or export my visual creations?
You can record your screen or capture snapshot frames directly within MOSH to export high-resolution glitched assets for music videos, visuals, or social posts. Artist journey & Aesthetic Rebellion
What is the story behind Dyes Mavis?
Dyes Mavis is a multidisciplinary digital artist and visual hacker known for combining analog video synthesis, raw datamoshing techniques, and modern real-time WebGL coding. MOSH was built out of Dyes Mavis's desire to give musicians and VJs instantaneous access to studio-grade glitch instruments. What is Aesthetic Rebellion?
Aesthetic Rebellion is the independent creative studio and collective founded by Dyes Mavis. It spans software visual tools, sound reactive experiments, and physical street-culture apparel. What can I find at aestheticrebellion.store?

Yes! Dyes Mavis collaborates with touring musicians, DJs, and brands for custom audio-reactive stage visuals, concert visuals, and visual software development. Reach out through aestheticrebellion.store or the contact page. How does purchasing from aestheticrebellion.store support MOSH?
Every merchandise purchase or supporter contribution directly funds server costs, GPU infrastructure, and free public updates to the MOSH WebGL engine. Social integration & platform compatibility
Can I use MOSH effects on TikTok or Instagram?
Yes! Beyond the web app, MOSH shader concepts are ported directly into TikTok Effect House and Instagram Spark AR camera filters for direct mobile video creation. Can I embed MOSH inside my own website or Shopify store?
Yes. You can embed MOSH using a responsive <iframe> tag on any HTML site or Shopify page:<iframe src="https://ether-mosh.lovable.app/" width="100%" height="600px" allow="camera; microphone"></iframe>
Is there a Telegram Mini App version of MOSH?
Yes! You can launch MOSH natively inside Telegram chats as an interactive WebApp using the dedicated MOSH Telegram bot setup. Can I launch MOSH inside Discord?
Yes. MOSH can be integrated as a custom Discord Activity, enabling users to generate visuals together inside voice and text channels. Can I use visuals generated in MOSH for commercial music videos?
Yes! Creators retain full ownership of visuals recorded using MOSH for use in commercial music videos, album art, social content, and live stage performances. Technical specs, privacy & accounts
What system requirements are needed to run MOSH smoothly?
MOSH runs best on modern browsers supporting WebGL2 and GPU acceleration. Dedicating GPU power ensures higher frame rates during complex audio-reactive processing. Does MOSH record or store my webcam footage on a server?
No! All webcam streams and video processing occur entirely client-side inside your device's browser GPU. No video feeds are recorded or transmitted to external servers. Do I need an account to use MOSH?
No account is required to use the visualizer. However, signing in via Google, Apple, or email lets you sync saved settings, shader presets, and supporter benefits across devices. Where can I review MOSH's Terms and Privacy policy?
You can review full platform documentation anytime at /terms and /privacy. How can I request new visual effects or report bugs?
