By connecting a video camera to a projector and directing the camera at the projected image, a wide variety of spontaneously generated images result.

The Recursion Paradigm

experiments in projected video feedback

On April 23, 2005, the Art Interactive (Cambridge, MA) hosted an after-hours party featuring many illustrious video artists, including NKV4, Walter Wright, Benton Bainbridge, dj Flack, and sosolimited. In a separate performance before the show, I set up my camera and projector to experiment with video feedback. In this session, I projected upon a surface with different shades, which caused regular geometric patterns to be produced under certain strictly controlled conditions. The eventual setup was so sensitive that the vibration of the floor caused by the music was carried through the tripod to the camera, making the images pulse to the same beat.
