| + | ======DIY Micro Video Transmitter Workshop====== | ||
| + | (Designed by Tetsuo Kogawa - http://anarchy.translocal.jp/) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Tetsuo Kogawa's micro video transmitter design is a bizarre device. It is essentially a very basic and extremely unstable analog video transmitter capable of transmitting any signal to a TV up to ranges of about 20 meters. Though it use for practical transmission purposes is limited, its true potential lies in the instabilities and idiosyncrasies of each one built. The resulting transmitted video becomes malleable and is able to be distorted and warped by tuning and bending the transmitter allowing for a wide range of abstract video processing and generation. | ||

| + | The build itself is very simple and can be accomplished by anyone on any skill level. The supplied kits come with all the components needed and everyone will walk away with their own transmitter. | ||

| + | =====About the workshop leader:===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[http://yaktronix.com/|Kyle Evans]] (MFA, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago) is a sound designer, computer musician, electronic instrument creator, and realtime video performer. While his educational background was focused toward experimental music and sound art, his collective artistic work ranges from music technology development to multimedia installation. He has invented many electronic musical and video instruments ranging from studio-based synthesizers and performance-based computer interfaces to electronic modifications and augmentations to acoustic instruments. His performances and installations commonly explore the relation between modern and obsolete technologies, breaking and repurposing, and the dialogue between performer and technology. His recent work has focused on utilizing the hidden capabilities and potentials of the now obsolete CRT television and the process of effectively bringing new life to a dead technology. | ||
