On breadboards and with basic electronic components, we will learn how to process analog video signals and display the results on cathode-ray tube televisions. Using sources like VCRs and old security cameras, we will learn the basic architecture of the analog video signal, how it differs from digital video, and how to manipulate that architecture in artistic ways. We will also learn through doing by exploring the basics of electronic signal flow in collaborative exercises.

Sean Russell Hallowell is a composer and video artist from San Francisco. His time-based works synthesize experimental techniques developed from hand-built circuitry with a cosmological perspective on music as conduit of periodicity, oscillation, and vibration.
Multimedia compositions, concert pieces, and fixed-media works of his have been premiered at festivals across the US as well as in Mexico, Chile, South Korea, Japan, Belgium, the UK, Croatia, Poland, and Iceland. 2022 has seen audiovisual works installed at galleries in San Francisco, New York City, and London.
