Kiss Blink Sync Vessel
Kiss Blink Sync Vessel is an installation of sculptural modular synthesizers
producing a live video stream. The work physically, visually and mathematically
presents and represents electric current. Working with the constraints/freedoms
and fragility/fundamentality of analog technology LoVid's objects and videos
are conceived as codes from a parallel civilization where media is tangible
and emotional.
The creative process of the work includes electrical engineering, 3D modeling
and output, printing of textiles and patchwork, abstract audiovisual
compositions, and online streaming. Kiss Blink Sync Vessel is a development
of LoVid's sci-fi dreamland, celebrating electricity and human interactions
with an information-saturated world. In addition to Eyebeam, Kiss Blink
Sync Vessel is supported by the Experimental TV Center's Finishing Funds.
Finishing Funds is supported in part by the New York State Council on
the Arts and by media The foundation.
