This is gorgeous 😍 thank you for sharing!
I think you should eventually admit it
4·17 days agoI think the photo was taken in 1895 based off the clothes and grain.
No news here! Just fractal like art I make using images from CRTs.
3·22 days agoI thought I was going crazy, thanks for explaining how saved sorting works
3·25 days agoWhy are there a bunch of pinned posts like this on the front page?

Preach 🙌
A user of r/196 was voted to choose the new sub image and they chose a picture of their friend and the sub went with it for a couple days then layered all the previous sub images onto it

Thanks for checking out the video!
The connector is what is known as a video synthesizer. You connect two analog video sources (VCR, PS2, anything with the old yellow video cables) that then connect to the potentiometers in the synth. These control the strength of the video signals coming through so you can blend them how you’d like.
On the synth are switches for different effects and blend modes, these allow for different types of modulation of the signal which the builder of the synth has preset. The knobs then allow you to adjust the strength of each source coming through as well as the strength of the effect that youre working in.
If you check out Etsy there are a few different video synth/modulator builders around. People tend to use these for live shows for visual effects so there is a scale of what you can get too. The one that im using from decaying electronics is really basic with 3 modes and 2 knobs, some have a ton more if you want to get real fancy.
As for tv compatibility, some CRTs will cut the feed if the signal gets too wonky but some will power through whatever you signal you throw at it. If you give it a try and the feed keeps cutting, try just running one source through the synth and add from there to find it’s limit.
Hope I was able to answer some of your question!
Crossing two video signals through potentiometers and capturing the image with a camera. I then mirror the image into patterns.
Here’s a video I put together the other day showing a bit of the process
Close! No magnets though
Thank you! This is what you are looking at, but this one was taken on a karaoke machine with a CRT in it.
It was jumping around my feet, almost didn’t see it! Super cute
