Regardless, it recently hit the mainstream in the form of music videos for Chairlift and Kanye West, so there has been a lot of digital press on the subject. It seems likely that someone was doing this before 2005, after all, there were poorly compressed DVD rips to inspire them. The effect has been in use by digital media artists since at least 2005, though exactly when it was first produced intentionally is a matter of some debate. If you've ever skipped ahead in a poorly compressed DVD rip and seen the moving outlines of actors ghosted behind the pixels of the scene you were just watching then you know what I'm talking about.
Datamoshing, as it has been coined by the Providence, RI / Pittsburg, PA artist collective Paper Rad (warning, site may induce seizures), refers to a technique of exploiting video compression to create intentional artifacting and distortion.
