New Video Circuits Website Coming Soon

I have not updated this blog for a long time, concentrating instead on Vector Hack, the VC discussion list and various long term projects including research into some artists missed or neglected by the current histories. However I am now working towards a new site. I will post the link here when it is finally up.

VECTOR HACK 2018


I haven't updated in a while (there is still a write up of my amazing signal culture trip last year coming)

But this is too good not to leave a short post about. I am helping Ivan and Derek with their amazing Vector Hack Festival project. Vector Hack is a festival centred around experimental vector graphics using oscilloscopes and lasers. It's happening in over two sites starting in Zagreb on 01/10/18 and ending in Ljubljana on 07/10/18. I will be attending so if you decide to come see you there!

Ivan and Derek have worked tirelessly to make this happen and it's going to be amazing.

Photos From The Video Workshop

The video workshop Alex and I gave was one of the best I have delivered, all 15 attendees got to take home a working CHA/V module they built in the class, it's a hacked VGA signal generator that basically allows you to build a simple video synth by adding some home brew or off the shelf oscillators. We had a great mix of attendees and they were all from really interesting backgrounds and super engaged. Alex as usual did a nicely paced video synthesis tutorial and I then lead the theory and building part of the class. We rounded up with Alex leading a discussion around historical video synthesis work and then proceeded to enjoy the evening concerts that were also part of the fantastic Brighton modular meet. (Pics 3+9 here are from Fabrizio D'Amico who runs Video Hack Space) Thanks to Andrew for organising the amazing meet which hosted the workshop, Matt for making our panels last minute, George for helping us out on the day and Steve from Thonk for supplying some components for the kits.

Come hang out and enjoy the rest of the meet.

Some pics of the panels we had made by Matt for Jona's CH/AV project (which we will be making on the day). There is also a shot of some audio oscillators driving the CH/AV to a VGA monitor.

Edge of Frame DIY Space For London

















I am performing on Thursday the 14th at DIY space for London.
Edge of Frame  very kindly asked me to play. There will also be a fantastic selection of films by other artists including some of my favourite people operating in the world of experimental electronic image making.
