LoVid
 

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.
