Chère Chambre, 2019

Chère Chambre is a video piece that uses scan processing to reshape the rectangular grid of an analog video signal into a morphing wireframe form which appears to have dimension and depth.

I recorded the video track for this piece at Signal Culture using the Jones Raster Scan, which was designed and built by Dave Jones. Since the Raster Scan outputs voltage to control an XYZ oscilloscope, I rescanned the oscilloscope screen in the studio with a DSLR in order to digitize the signal.

The audio was recorded on the Doepfer system at Alfred University, using a system of photoresistors to translate the light from the video channel to control signals to affect the sound.
