Project Context
Shifting Signals

A live audiovisual performance combining analog synthesizer and self-built electronic circuits with a hacked cathode ray tube television repurposed as an oscilloscope. Audio signals drive the beam directly, tracing Lissajous figures on the screen, geometric patterns that shift and pulse in real time. The television image is captured by a webcam and projected large-scale, making the intimate oscilloscope display into a shared visual experience.

Technical Setup

Hacked TV, CRT, Oscilloscope, Lissajous Figures, Analog Synthesizer, Self-Built Electronics.
