We Heard that old tv sets hold lots of interesting things to play with... so we broke in...


Group project for experimental film & video. Influenced by the work of Nam june Paik. Exploring the idea of old mediums being more penetrable than of those more recent. I hate how I can't break into my ipod touch and faff about with it but it wasn't very hard to mashup the circuits in this old tv, or physically slice in half a song (via vinyl). The concept was too display a certain anger toward contemporary mediums, how the user has less control... his control or decisions are being made for him. We didn't feel too comfortable with this, "your the machine I'm the user...I want to be in control". The tv depicts the sound (in this case of two different sliced up records merged together).

Rewired, old CRT monitor to depict sound rather than image, the result was a sound visualizer, the sound created the image.
First attempt at circuit bending... went pretty well.
