Howdy from North Texas - name is Sean. Been poking around on video circuits on and off for a few years but only just started really diving in. I’m a prolific tinkerer, jotter, and gear queer, working within Electronics Manufacturing managing some Testing Services. Have an educational history in engineering and new media art. I’ve become thirsty for more technical insight into this world and am absolutely elated to find such an active and savvy group of folks - in forum format none-the-less!
I lean pretty heavily towards lurking, so I’ll be around.
Hi my Name is Paul and I live in germany (RheinMain Area)
i came here for info on the sync-ope and didn’t know about scanlines before. looks like a nice place
I sometimes do live video projections on techno parties using (mostly) modded home video equipment from the 90s. In the last years i kind of neglected the video thing though. (I got sucked into building diy music stuff instead)
II want to get back into glitch art some more and rebuilt my live setup (which kind of broke last year during a rave)
I am mostly interested in hardware. Recently I am warming up to the idea of video being done by a computer a bit since I learned how to use blender though.
Hey everyone, I’m Kyle, also known klenkstar on insta. I am so psyched to be part of this focused community and to hopefully get away from the typical apps I find myself having an obsequious attachment to. I’ve always loved tinkering with electronics and had some kind of creative drive so I guess naturally obscure video experimentation is where I wind up. During the day I work in a soil and agronomic research lab. I don’t think anyone will but you can totally pick my brain about dirt! My journey into “new media” began a couple years ago with some crap iPhone app that let me do basic glitchy effects. Not too long after I came across a paper that described video feedback in detail and recognized it only as the crazy tunnel effect that happens when you point the camera at the tv. I didn’t realize there was any more to it than that, but the generative aspect of it had a profound impact on me. It wasn’t until Covid that I really started to go deep and came across projects like waaave pool and recur. Now my tiny living space is perpetually covered in a spaghetti mess of wires but I find it strangely comforting. I am totally fascinated by some of the things I see people in this weird niche doing and am so lucky to have stumbled across it. Thank you also to everyone putting hours and hours of their time into these projects to make these tools openly available and create educational communities like this. That is so good to see.
We’re Pixelflowers. We’re two - I mean, it’s one person writing (who has half a brain only) but we work as a duo, directed by Uniporn (pictured above). We’ve been here since May, but forgot to introduce ourselves
We’re based in Berlin and we somehow belong to -or come from- the dancefloor: we started making visuals at techno parties, and since the pandemics we have been livestreaming our visuals every Wednesday and Friday (check one of those links to know more about our setup and workflow), collaborating with DJs, local techno parties and other music-related entities. We publish our work on the Internet Archive.
We’re very happy to be onboard here on Scanlines. We value a community for its human/social aspects first, rather than for its size/power or the resources it offers. Everything we’ve seen here up to now under these regards looks promising to us!
Hello I’m Ryan but most people call me Ghostdad. I caught the tail end of Vidicon this year and was happy to also find out about the Scanlines community.
I’ve spent the last 10 years or so creating and running live visuals for a variety of DJ’s, bands, rappers, and the occasional corporate activation. More of that here.
For that I spend most of my time in the box with Resolume et al. I started performing visuals for my own music projects by cutting up found footage with Jitter patches and the ol’ Korg entrancer.
I still keep a few CRT’s and pieces of hardware around for glitching things out when needed. I also made a gang of presets for Paracosm’s amazing Lumen software that might still be in there! Lately I’m spending a lot of time in the Unity game engine partially because of Teenage Engineering’s OP-Z. I’m also interested in 3D web based experiences. I keep a sort of mixed bag of creative projects here.
This year is unfortunately pretty gigless for me but I welcome new communities, resources, friends, collaborators, ideas. In general I’m looking to see what’s next. Vidicon was totally inspiring and I’m happy to be here. Thanks!
Hello all. I’m known in the computer world as Jungleist7.
I represented the graffiti world at the Dawn of the 3D mapping scene. I can proudly say I was definately “there”.
I’ve been into technology before CPU sounds and internet were even considered and just something you read about, so I can say that I learned to use computers before I could even crawl, LOL.
In my current touring rig I have experimental software and hardware and I have performed and prefer software. (Hello to my fans, thank you for your love & honesty).
I have been a VJ mainly for Musicians that have been touring DJ’s and releasing vinyl since the 90’s. The awkward thing about touring as a VJ is that the topic “Video Art” is interesting because meet people that do the same thing as us, but they only do performances for Venue owners and Grammy award artists. Think of any and every musician/performer that has been in the spotlight and won an Emmy Award or a Grammy award you meet people that only do exclusive content for them. I’m talking about people behind the scenes in their music video and people that have contributed to their Stage performance you know who I’m talking about. So this is a shoutout to you guys, thank you for your generosity and knowledge.
I dont have much to offer on this site, I see alot of talented people and people that I admire. You guys are awesome. Not just the talent I see on the introduction page but all you true tekkies out there! You get the props.
The onlything I can really say is that experimentation on stage is never easy, so if you don’t have the skill or technical knowledge to improvise, then your just left in the dust while performing. There are only a few of us here on Scanlines that “I KNOW” can pull that off. You guys know who you are.
Everything else regarding visual art has been said and done. So theres that too.
My expectations here are to learn some seriously nerdy crap, but mainly BS and have fun with you guys.
OK, now heres some images I have to upload because technology and the will of the movement said so…
Hi, I didn’t see this post before sorry to be late…
I arrive here last few days, invited by cyberboy666 to deal about dev of our associate project -Sync-Ope- .
I’m general digital/electronic artist, with too much centers of interest to list its ; and technical manager at computer music lab in university of Bordeaux (France). I began video circuit exploration coming from circuit bending world (lots of glitched 2 to 5 generation video games) then I put my finger in lzx stuff and analog video devices and the rest of my body and soul come with it (and substantial part of my purse too)… Glad to see one of the burning core of video wizards here! Gonna take my time to explore all the lore… Cheer’s!
Hi guys,
sorry have been busy building my house lately and forgot to introduce after signing in few months ago. My name is Alberto Novello I’m 43, I live in Italy but I’ve been around Europe a lot before. Before diving into video I was performing live with audio-driven lasers using as source my modular synth (this is a recent video https://vimeo.com/465512576).
One day on Muffwiggler I saw a post by Lars Larsen (the founder of LZX industries) on how to hack a Vectrex and right after saw @allthesixes666 posting amazing pictures with it. They seemed similar to my laser stuff but more complex. So I got my hands on one and started experimenting. For couple of years building some Vectrex installation, some short compositions. Last year I started working with a Tekrtonix monitor to mostly deform rasters. Lately I developed a technique to combine lasers and video projections into one: my new live performance called Inspirals (https://vimeo.com/470676044) was created for the Vector Hack Festival run by @klif, Derek Holzer and Chris King. In the last weeks I started building my Cadet LZX system to add feedback to Raster. I went into my basement and found my old Sony shitty camera and a Trinitron and started back from the beginning… lets’ see where it goes… I’m happy to be here, I know a lot of you already directly or just from Avatars on forums. I’m a bit fed up with Facebook but it’s also a heavy drug I’ll try my best to transition my energy to here. Hope you’re all doing fine. See you around.
Cheers,
AN
Hey everybody, i’m Lauden/americantrashcorp. I’ve been lurking on here for quite a while, and wanted to make the plunge to introduce myself. I like a lot of other people have been doing my best to make the jump away from facebook and this seems like a great community to share and learn things. I started datamoshing videos and using those for live performences, and then slowly started using stuff like resolume, then much later lumen. Now the last year or so i’ve been focusing on a lot of hardwear. I’ve made a few dirty mixers, an ave mod, and bent my own archer a few months ago with some pretty good results (about 8 or 9 bends) Whenever the pandemic lets up a little bit hopefully I can go back to doing some live visuals. Anyway! Hi everybody.
also, heres a link to some stuff i was messing around with a few days ago.
Hi! I’ve heard a lot about this site and see links to the URL pretty often, but haven’t really engaged myself with this place yet. I guess to start, under this alias YOVOZOL, I’ve done live visuals for quite a few bands in southern USA before the pandemic and have since done many music videos and longer sets for livestreams. I have a straightforward website that is my portfolio yovozol.com as well as a YouTube channel (1.3k subs and counting!) that has my work as well as guides about visuals, more of which will be made in the future I think. I also am getting into selling my visuals on home dubbed VHS tapes, which is has been a success and lots of fun so far!
Analog glitch visuals has been my go-to way to express myself and I have been further pushing myself to define my own aesthetic and identifiable style. You can see this progression best on my instagram@yovozol . I am a relatively young (age-wise) artist and a lot of people my generation are fascinated but what I do since none of us really grew up with the very tech I’m using, so in a way I feel I’m kind of… a gen z anomaly in that regard.
Hello! I just heard about this forum and I instantly registered. I’m Lime, a French visualist/livecoder from Paris. I mostly perform as a VJ, but I also do a lot of experiments, using new and established tools (Hydra by @ojack, Max/MSP/Jitter, Marching.js, Resolume…). My portfolio is over there : https://limewire.xyz.
I performed mostly in chiptune shows, but also on the webradio Datafruits. I like 3D viz, analog-style viz and some forms of glitch art. I make viz since ~2013. I’m looking forward to expand my knowledge on the visual field, such as using my electronics skill to build DIY video synths.
Hi, my name is Thomas. Working on graphic algorithms since years. Using openFrameworks, Blender and custom software for my experiments.
This winter i am working on a visualization software for live coding. Mixing generative code fragments with inputs channels in real-time. Called this thing “analog Not analog”, because it is inspired by analog video feedback loops. But runs on a digital computer. It’s mainly for visuals. The software components of aNa communicate via OSC. You can connect SuperCollider or other tools for sending OSC messages.
aNa is based on Clojure and openFrameworks. Source code and some documentation at GitLab Thomas Jourdan / aNa · GitLab
I’ve not been so active recently, but I’ve done a lot of work on circuit bending retro video hardware, mostly written up here: http://lushprojects.com/videobend/
Hello everyone, I’m Sean. I am a Video Synthesist or VJ, my stage name is Photon Bath. I perform providing visuals for some of the musicians in the New York Modular Society. I use a variety of devices and tools, including a Critter & Guitari ETC, an LZX Vidiot, Geiskes Oscillotascope. I’ve played around a bit with Waaavepool and want to get more into Andrei’s software as well as Scrawl. I just assembled a r_e_c_u_r and am trying to get that working now.
very cool if you want some help stepping through anything related to scrawl just send me a message and we can step through it over chat or video.
welcome to the fold!
wow i had stumbled upon your website a few years ago and was amazed. my mind is blown that you just posted a photo with all that gear there on the table! what i would do to know what the mixer market was like in 2009 and 2010…
Hi p33ps!! My name is Ash aka laelume (they/them) and I’m an audio programmer, livecoder, musician/composer/producer, and jxll of all trades! I use alot of emerging and experimental software as well as conventional tools, and am excited about… lots of things!! I just started a music label for livecoding (and for computer musics too) and I hope to make connections with folx here and talk about cool nerdish stuff. Come find me on soundcloud & ig!! Nice to meet you! xoxo ash
