Derek Holzer's PERFORMANCE:
VECTOR SYNTHESIS
23 Augustat 6 pm.

VECTOR SYNTHESIS is an audiovisual, computational art project using sound synthesis and vector graphics display techniques to investigate the direct relationship between sound+image. It draws on the work of Steina & Woody Vasulka and the Rutt-Etra Video Synthesizer they employed for many of their signature works, as well as ideas of media archaeology and the creative re-use of obsolete technologies such as the Cathode Ray Tube monitor. Audio waveforms control the vertical and horizontal movements as well as the brightness of a single beam of light, and what is both seen and heard are an expression of the same electronic signal.
