I started video editing in 2009. My friends and I would make ridiculous Call of Duty montages.
In 2012 I shifted my focus from video games to videography. I shot and edited my first fan-made music video using an HD handycam that year.
In 2016 I made my first attempt at “glitch art” using the effects found in Sony Vegas. I like to sync sounds with sights and I am very meticulous about where a clip is placed in a sequence. I often would implement hundreds of key frames within a visual.
Since then, I have had the privilege of collaborating with creative individuals from around the world.
In 2020 I started experimenting with glitch gear. I bought the rare Psychenizer and having been loving the experience so far. I’d like to buy more gear, but I feel as though I am only scratching the surface of what I could make between the gear, Premiere and AE.
Now I am still making music videos and exploring eco friendly/ energy efficient NFTS.
Here is a video I edited last year and my first glitch art visual from 2016. Check it out if you’d like.
Hey all, I’m Jude (he/him), or cobaltJude usually online. I’m a printmaker currently studying at RISD for Printmaking and Computation, Technology, and Culture. It’s one hell of a time.
My background in A/V art is pretty limited, but that’s why I’m joining here - to learn more. I’m really interested in analog media and also, old computers and internet stuffs. I was and still am a child of the internet since I started using the keyboard on the computer in my grandmas lap (probably when I was like, 4?). I’m very into malware and such but don’t have the resources to play with it (id prefer to have a separate, slightly older and less networked computer with a VM in it to protect myself because im paranoid lol).
I am also crap at playing guitar, but have played violin since I was like, 9. Really into music but cannot make it to save my life.
You can find my printmaking and illustration work at judebigboy.net, which is a constant work in progress. I’m thinking of moving back to hostinger and making a custom website for my site, but I got lazy after a while and switched to squarespace for the time being. I love making weird websites (cobaltjude.github.io is my current playground for rudimentary HTML stuffs) but modern webdev stuff baffles me.
Some other interests include: poetry, scifi, indigenous studies, and the ever classic among internet nerds - video games and anime.
And just to put my weird timeline into perspective, I’m 20 right now. Woo yeah. Currently looking to learn a bit about A/V technology and then branch into circuit bending and the like. I used to be on my high school robotics team as lead programmer, but they were total jerks to me so I left.
I’ve always been a big fan of analog visual effects, music, type, poetry and the intersection of them in art. Super excited to have found this community with the wealth of talent and passion that is here. I really dipped my toes into this after teaching myself cathodemer and learning to compose visuals for the backdrops for the band I was in. I found it super inspiring and have desired to take it further, dabbling into combining my music, poetry, and visuals. Those mediums have always been so intertwined for me so to explore it in my art is satisfying and exciting. I’m excited to take a deeper look around and hope to see you all around. (:
Hi. My name is Arvin. I’m a relative newcomer the the CRT/video bending world, but I come from a photography and electronic music background.
I’ve been interested in the world of glitch and video bending for a long as I can remember. Everything has been an influence. The holograms in Star Wars. The video work of Chris Cunningham. The photography of Rob Sheridan. Conky the robot from Pee Wee’s Playhouse.
I’ve been mostly experimenting in still images but I’m working my way up onto video. If you’d like to check out my progress my insta is @deadchannels.tv
Looking forward to the deep dive and learning and growing with everybody here!
Hello everyone! My name is Ethan, I live in Massachusetts in the U.S., and I’ve been lurking here for a little while, not totally sure where/how to contribute but I love the vibes
I am not a video artist myself but I trained as an audiovisual archivist. I have a set up to digitize VHS and audio cassette at home and would like to get more space/formats at some point so I could help local artists with their aging tapes. I used to do similar volunteer work with XFR Collective in New York, who y’all should know about and check out some of the stuff they’ve transferred. Also a while back I made this site called The Cable Bible to help archivists putting racks together or working with any kind of legacy media, always love to get feedback or help or suggestions to make it better!
Above all just want to say how beautiful and creative and amazing all the stuff you all do is, keep on keeping on and I’ll probably come to you all eventually with some question about CRTs or TBCs or what have you
Hi! My name is Mike (Michał) Liberak. I produce & perform electronic music (hardcore of sorts) as Verbalizer and Pierdochrumszczarka (Fartogruntpisser). My visual project is HachiwariTV and this brings me here
My idee fixe is the unity of time, space and action, and I am doing my best to meet this criteria when producing music and visuals - all live, done in one take, no post-production.
I started the adventures in video feedback realms thanks to Merlyn Chipman - a wizard from Vancouver, whom I met in 2007 while in Canada, and later in 2010 when he came to visit us in Gdańsk. The guy flew across Atlantic with own modded CRT and projector… He was accompanied by Colin Hendry, a noise genius and performer (Broken Sleep), who later turn my attention to the equipment produced by Cat Full of Ghosts Electronics, whose video synths soon became a cornerstone of my setup. Being notoriously broke, I started to make visuals in 2016 using 14 inch Sony Trinitron, Sony Handycam, CatVi$$ion and SyncShredder. Then I managed to acquire Video Equations (from CFOGE too), V4 (two actually), and Schele-Mixer (from Gijs Geskjes). For recording I am using Canon EOS 550d. My latest addition to this video rig was r_e_c_u_r - I think I was the first to assemble one in the wild XD
Since then I have been performing a couple of times at squat parties here and there (Barcelona Tofu rocked!), art galleries, and regular parties (Hellfish was lit), but since my rig is usually malfunctioning this or other way, I stayed focused on capturing visions in my home studio.
Recently I almost completely stopped doing vids for reasons unknown. Maybe it’s due to eurorack fever i have. I hope that this community will help me revive and sustain interest in doing silly serious video stuff with analogue gear again : )
Software-wise I have used Signal Culture apps, and had tons of fun. Then I started messing with TouchDesigner and I feel I am gonna stick to it for a bit longer despite my mental limitations ; )
I’m 50 yo, living in Gdańsk, Poland and here’s a couple of links to my projects:
I’m anillogic across all platforms, based in Chicago. I discovered and built a r_e_c_u_r just before the pandemic kicked off. Since then have amassed a couple of mixers, VCRs, a 3TrinsRGB, and a T-420. I am a user, not a programmer or engineer. I was looking for visuals to accompany/interact with my synthesizer gear. I just discovered this page thanks to the 2nd anniversary. I look forward to seeing what everyone is working on, and scraping whatever bits of knowledge I can.
Hi all. I am Matt but do audio/visual work under I.O.M. I do have a video film background from years ago but have been doing a mix of mostly analog video with my sound/noise making. Currently mixing modular mini video system with analog equipment. My stuff can be found on YT and look forward to joining and contributing to the community here. Thanks!
hi! i’m Z, i make sounds on a modular audio synthesizer as zbs.fm
just getting into video synthesis a little bit. i bought lumen today (and subsequently heard that it’s paused development -_-) after trialing it for a while. not sure if i’ll stick around but thought i’d say hi anyway
Hey everyone! I’ve been lurking for awhile and promised to make an intro post.
I’ve been diving into glitch art since about April of this year. Started on digital photo glitching and have since expanded myself into AI art and now analog glitch art. It’s been an interesting ride and I’ve fully enjoyed mixing all the above mediums in different combinations to produce works that are visually challenging to ones eye.
My work has been exhibited at a local public farmstead and has also been accepted into an upcoming art exhibit at an area gallery. I’ve also produced some custom pieces for customers. I’m in talks with another location to host some of my work and I’ve also started reaching out to local bands attempting to perform some live visuals for them.
All of the crazy stuff I do can be found in my Linktree.
Looking forward to learning more from this awesome forum.
My name this time around is Robin Sutcliffe. I recently started with video and visual glitch art this year in July. I have made some videos which can be found here
I make music videos for my own tracks and other bands and a lot of music+video art for astrological events such as the moon phases, also glitch portraits with spirit/totem animals and sacred geometric patterns.
Oevrewise I also make character sculptures from ewaste, assemble, build, modify and repair audio (and now video) gear, compose electronic music. Been going with audio a long time, I have fallen extremely hard into video, I LOVE IT
Hi Martijn, very much:) I do indeed have a 3trnsrgb, also his oscillatoscope.
I plan to experiment with some x/nor logic gates with the CV s for the 3Trins, I’m sure some interesting effects can be found. I lack work space right now : )
Yes! I did, though it’s not yet featured in my videos it’s an amazing addition, thanks!
I got the 3Trins with the 1 comparator plug-in so I could see the value in having three.
Hi, my name is Carter! I’m a sophomore in college, and I’m relatively new to video synthesis, but I’d like to learn a lot more. I’m primarily interested in live video glitch art and building my own gear. I’ve just recently started gathering the things to build my own CHA/V as well as a modded GBS 8100, but I’m in need of other build projects—preferably ones that can work in conjunction with those 2 devices once I finish them. Any advice or build recommendations are appreciated!
I’m a musician who has been been working on my visual art for a few years now. I bought a Waaave_Pool from Andrei a few years ago and have since built a fun and functional projector system around it. I have 6 midi switchable live cameras routed through an array of video mixers, BPMC, Opti Glitch etc.
I recently came out of my shell to join a discord and now this. I have a 0% social media presence and am excited to talk to some likeminded individuals. My main reason for being here is to get help with issues that I can’t find answers for via web searches or lurking on forums.
Hopefully I twill have some things to offer the community. I am an experienced audio engineer both studio and live.
