DIY VIDEO INSTRUMENTS — BERLIN

MAKE VIDEO WRONG.

STUDIO TEST PATTERN / SNOW / 640 × 480

We design and build handmade video synth stomp boxes and interactive tools for live visual performance, out of Berlin. From pocket-sized video sources like Channel0 to recallable framebuffers like Mantis and scanline processors like Ridge, our devices are built for artists who want to bend video signals in real time.

NO PERFECT
SIGNALS!
