Video Synth Portraits
2020–Ongoing
This series of still portraits is created by processing video of subjects
through an LZX Industries-format video synthesizer system, with
occasional use of other video effects gear, and then extracting frames.
While sometimes retaining a recognizable likeness, the goal is less to
represent individuals than to use them as a starting point for a series
of chain reactions within the mostly analog processing system. The
resultant images depict a space in between the subject and the limits,
parameters, and possibilities of a standard definition NTSC
video signal.
