Serving as an introduction to video glitch art, this hands-on workshop will provide overviews and techniques to approaching analog video glitch aesthetics. A variety of analogue tools and technology will be used, including video mixers, Hi8 cameras, video titlers, CRT televisions, and custom glitch modules in order to surf the video signal.
Participants will get the opportunity to work with several different setups, generating images and textures, and even take home a vhs recording of their analogue experiments!
In this workshop, the glitches will be approached as features, not failures, of otherwise outdated and archaic technology.
► Registration for free via Eventbrite
Only 10 places available!
The workshop will provide:
- contextual overview of the artform
- simple breakdown of equipment and technical setups
