The Video Equations Eurorack system by Robert Jordan is a new and updated version of the Video Equations found here, a eurorack character based video synth that creates its visuals by manipulating complex exuations.. It utilises the power of mathematics to yield rippling lo-fi seas of colour, acid trip roguelikes, glitching fractals, visions of an […]
The Video Equations system by Robert Jordan utilises the power of mathematics to yield rippling lo-fi seas of colour, acid trip roguelikes, glitching fractals, visions of an 80’s techno dream and worlds of crashing computer programs, all from a single, beautiful unit. Equally at home in the studio, lab or on the road this colour […]
„Sync Shredder“ by Robert Jordan is an analogue video effect device DIY project that is almost like a ring modulator for video – the basic circuit uses as few components as possible. It can give everything from chroma shifts to jumping glitch and awesome crazy rainbow distortions. It uses an Sin or Sqr audio signal […]
There are many old and different techniques to get an effect of moving images, beginning with flip-books and zoetropic discs (see Sculpture) to ancient shadow plays and shadow theatres (chinese 皮影戲/ Píyǐngxì; indonesian Wayang; thai Nang Yai). A very beautiful combination of shadow play and zoetropic devices can be found in these two works of […]
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduinio Leonardo is a new board in the Arduino Family and available for sale in the Arduino shop now. Arduino Leonardo is based on an Atmega32U4 […]
The de/Rastra oscillographic synthesizer developed by Kyle Evans is a real-time audio/video instrument and computer-interfacing device that allows a performer to generate visualizations intrinsic to cathode ray tube technology while simultaneously creating the acoustic analog of the displayed imagery. Sounds crazy – and yes, it definitely is: Computer interfacing: Atmel 328 communicates with a program […]
A wicked project for analog DIY fans is the Lumenoise project developed by Niklas Roy. Lumenoise light pen turns your old CRT-TV into an audiovisual synthesizer. Unlike modern flat TV’s, old school CRT’s draw the image line by line onto their phosphorescent screen. A photo transistor, placed on a tube TV’s surface, can recognize when […]
For all the geeks out there who still work with analog video and maybe even with a Panasonic MX 12 video mixer there is a nice tutorial about modding this device to get luma keying: http://mgcjerry.net/Lumamod/ For technical specifications check out vjcentral.net/hardware/panasonic-wj-mx12 VJ Yochee [ˈviːdʒeɪ ˈʤɔkɪ] aka 7dexYochanan Rauert aka Yochee is working as a […]
