Vector Synthesis: Syntheshape Depth Rotation
The Syntheshape is a simple analog circuit designed to produce 2D graphic art on the oscilloscope by Mitchell Waite in 1974. During my Toolmaker Residency at Signal Culture in Owego NY (OCT 2015), I tried unsuccessfully to hand-build one of these circuits. After leaving the idea aside for a while, I rewrote the Syntheshape in Pure Data while at the Vector Hack event in Zagreb (OCT 2018). To update it a bit, I added a depth axis for 3D. The three audio signals which describe the X axis, Y axis, and brightness of the shape are sent to be visualized on a Vectrex vector monitor, and the same signals are heard after being processed by the low pass filters of two Benjolin analog synthesizer circuits.

Vector Synthesis: Tired Eyes/Enter the Void [Scan Processing]
This clip uses audio signals to display video on a modified Vectrex console. A photograph is scan processed with the classic Rutt-Etra technique. The brightness information modulates the Z axis (depth) of the raster, which is then projected from 3D to 2D space with perspective treatment. Coded with my Vector Synthesis library for Pure Data.
