Protothon Article "I got 99 problems but a glitch 'aint one"

2012-02-22T09:37:00.000-08:00

So my friend Joe who runs creative coding hackathons, talks & workshops did a nice write up of my work including my series of images "I got 99 problems but a glitch 'aint one" as a kick off of the new blog on the Protothon site

anyway the next Protothon event is based on WebRTC at Google Offices in Stockholm on the 24.03.2012

and looks like it's going to be allot of fun, WebRTC is basically enables web browsers with real time communications functions like in browser skype. However the fun doesn't stop there as it opens up all sorts of creative possibilities to anyone willing to experiment with the Javascript APIs and HTML5!

I helped out my friends Taki and Lucy in creating a live video effects karaoke piece as a small part of Lucky PDF Live at Frieze art fair. I just provided the live equipment set up and they did all the hard work as I was out of the country during most of the show, but I did get a chance to snap a few shots of the set up before I went.

also Lucky PDF have been nominated for this art prize so if you are in the mood please vote for them as they are hard working and all round nice guys

Sync Generator + Encoder + Modular Synth = Video!

2012-01-16T10:38:00.000-08:00

So I recently got a Sync generator that has all sorts of signals available on mini jack! I had a video encoder stashed away so I decided to see if I could use my euro rack audio modular to generate video signals, safe to say it worked like a charm! now I just need to build some video oscillators and a small mixer and my system will work pretty well.

Peter Donebauer "Entering" (1974)

2011-12-31T03:44:00.000-08:00

"The imagery and sound in Entering were performed 'live' by Donebauer and composer Simon Desorgher, and recorded in real time, using a colour TV studio at the Royal College of Art. Later Donebauer and Richard Monkhouse developed the Videokalos synthesiser, as an image-sound performance instrument. Entering was transmitted by the BBC in 1974."

Uploaded by Visual Remix Workshop rmx-visual.tumblr.com/ "Visual remix" is a project consisting of workshop series aiming to explore ideas of remix in visual arts and design. It invites students to re-interpret or hybridize classic design/art piece and produce unique result independent of the intentions and vision of the original designer/artist.

Activated Memory
31/12/11 - 29/01/12
30/12/2011 (7-11pm GMT)

"bubblebyte.org is pleased to present Activated Memory, a solo exhibition by Canadian artist Sabrina Ratté.

Activated Memory is a two video project based on animated photographs of different parks and buildings of Montreal. Through the use of video feedback, 3D animation and color manipulations, the pictures render a new kind of space, a virtual world where only fragments of "reality" subsist. The music accompaniment is composed by Roger Tellier-Craig.

In Activated Memory I, a video created for The Download section of rhizome.org, parks appear through a very minimalist form composed by trees and grass. It is a journey through the parks disposal and their interaction with light, almost creating a surreal experience while studying symmetric relationships between various elements like dunes, bridges, lost routes and nature. The park and its imaginary recall childhood visits and the way of looking at things, almost like a hologram of an idealised memory.

Activated Memory II, created exclusively for bubblebyte.org, uses buildings as the main subject of observation. As a counterpoint to parks, buildings are characterised by angular forms and opaque surfaces. Architecture is used as a point of departure to create instability. Buildings discompose their limits into the frame while the geometric original shapes and dimensions of the image loose control to create an entrance to a chaotic space where forms become liquid."

Video Transmitter Experiments

2011-11-15T11:08:00.000-08:00

So I found this old transistor set on the way home from a friends house a while ago and I had already got a few transmitters in my piles of junk, so I thought I would test them out and try some feedback. To my amazement the transmitter would invert the image on some settings. I also played around with my Audio to video circuit in to the transmitter at one point and made this "cool" montage poster

Not a video synth related post however I helped out with some of the sound on this for my good friend Max. It's for an energy drink animation competition. Him and Dave really knocked it out of the park on this one I am in awe !!! also for those who are interested all of the sounds were generated with analogue synthesisers they felt this went well with the visual style inspired by Russian matchbook Labels from this excellent post on sci-fi-o-rama.

also I find it quite amusing to appropriate soviet imagery for a very capitalistic reason but then I think back to animators of the soviet block subtly working in the stories they wanted to tell regardless of the state line and maybe this is the capitalist version ?

2011-06-16T09:27:00.000-07:00

Every one knows despite Hantarex and Sony no longer offering CRT monitors they are still a preferred display technology for many galleries and artists, that's where companies like The Block come in. Also they are super sweet for video feedback effects as they react differently to other displays and have real presence as objects!

"About

The Block offers monitors for hire to artists, curators, galleries and museums staging film and video work throughout the UK. The Block funds, produces and provides support for a range of projects which can be found in the updates section of this website."

LoVid: The Other Side of Ground

2011-06-07T08:46:00.000-07:00

new video work by LoVid at Mixed Greens Gallery here is the facebook event

16 June
Location
Mixed Greens
531 west 26th street, 1st floor
New York, New York

"Mixed Greens is pleased to present the site-specific window project The Other Side of Ground by Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus, the artist duo known as LoVid. Their dynamic, colorful pieces are a masterful mix of the low- and high-tech.
Known for their innovative performances, live video installations, tactile objects, patchworks, sculptures, and installations, LoVid encourages the viewer to reexamine his/her relationship to the digital world. By mixing analog and digital philosophies, processes, and techniques, LoVid’s pieces come to life. In one piece, for instance, it was necessary for viewers to touch points on a monolithic sculpture in order for a video to activate. Human touch became the subject of a digital output.

The Other Side of Ground consists of five large-scale digital prints in the windows of Mixed Greens. The vivid colors and patterns are created with LoVid’s handmade video synthesizer, recorded and recomposed into analog prints. The artists’ visual work offers an intensely visceral experience, forming a blended landscape that incorporates complementary elements from media noise and abstract painting. They are ultimately interested in the ways in which the human body and mind observe, process, and respond to natural and technological environments, as well as how we preserve data, signals, and memory.

The Other Side of Ground is a series of prints referencing Newman-like mid-century abstraction and the sublime, but quite literally representing noise and digital energy that we rarely visualize.
Mixing the handmade with the technological, LoVid questions and recontextualizes our relationship with technology."

awsome project from Telenoika

"1 Bit Audiovisual Synthesizer
Hav1bit is a VGA and audio synthesizer, consisting of 3 square pulse generators which can modulate themselves, in a way very simmilar to the FM synthesis techniques.
The project is done by means of Arduino programming, and it incoporates an interface consisting of 6 pots and 6 buttons, which can control individually the RGB channels. The very same pulses which are generating visual data are transformed into audio, so what you see is exactly what you hear!"

Videoheads

2011-05-27T06:20:00.000-07:00

Here is an awesome website and youtube channel for Videoheads a very early (and still somewhat active) video arts collective

"Videoheads began its activities in London, 1967 at the Arts Lab, working with some equipment donated to us by The Beatles. This cumbersome and unreliable equipment was replaced in 1968 when we staged a huge happening at the Albert Hall known as The Alchemical Wedding. Money from that event was used to create a studio and mobile equipment dedicated to the documentation of alternative artistic activities which "normal" TV would not bother with. We were the TV of the alternative society.

In the intervening 40 years we have always maintained a free, open studio, archive and showplace dedicated to what we call "Videoculture"

After 20 years of consulting and working with UNESCO in Paris, the collection and workshop have been re-united in our new workspace in Amsterdam"

here are some awesome videos

Known as "The Wizard" for his technical prowess Russom has built instruments for the likes of James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) and Tim Goldsworthy (UNKLE) and has toured playing synths and percussion with LCD Soundsystem.

Bringing the full Crystal Ark collective together with dancers, lighting designers and video and projection artists, Russom will expand on the immersive multi-sensory experiences he has developed for the 28th Sao Paulo Bienial, MOMA and PS1 in New York.

Sydney Opera House is the perfect location and Vivid LIVE the ideal occasion for this fusion of intense visuals with the living sound of The Crystal Ark full band."

David Stringer And Mr Colorizer

2011-04-26T15:12:00.000-07:00

In the world of DIY video hardware it is quite hard to have done something unusual as the area you are working in is unusual in itself so anything you make appears out of the ordinary anyway

When I stumbled upon David Stringer's site about Mr Colorizer and Mr Animation, it took me a while to notice that the original Mr Colorizer (1975) was valve based !!! thats right vacuum tubes !!! the rest of his system is pretty interesting as well sharing some of the same functionality as the scanimate. Surly a Valve based colouriser is something to be marveled at :)

audio separate from video (just pasted together) next time I will record A/V simultaneously and allow one to effect the other

the goal for this test was to give a feeling of movement through the picture plane in to the distance as most of my work feels quite flat

Swindon Viewpoint

2011-03-12T03:03:00.000-08:00

I have often been jealous of the fact that in America (and many other countries) public access television exists and produces weird and interesting content while Britain has a very closed network

However I recently discovered this was not always the case by stumbling on to Swindon Viewpoint's Vimeo they were one of the first and longest running local services and still produce content to this day
