This is an early version of a video system I’m working on. I originally wanted to make something that looked like it was communicating when really everything was just random — sort of like if the aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind had used video to talk. I was working on it while listening to music and noticed that it appeared to be syncing even though it wasn’t at all. I think it has to do with how easily we see patterns, how rhythmic the music is, and how fast the video changes.

So, just an early example. I’m working on another version that uses MIDI for live manipulation.
