HOBATION

Concept

    I try to use video feedback technique to create a video artwork and the theme of it is interruption.
    Briefly, video feedback is made by a video camera and a monitor. The video camera out- put the signal to the monitor, and meanwhile, video camera shoot the scene from moni- tor. As a result, it makes a loop, and when the camera zooms in, zooms out or do other movement (still shoot on monitor,) monitor can generate organic patterns. In the late 80s, many music bands such as Queens used this technique to make their music video.

Process

    I use both LCD and CRT monitor to generate video feedback for my work. The result from LCD and CRT are quite different. In my opinion, CRT can generate rich color, and the color tone of LCD is pretty cold. Therefore, I use part footage from CRT, and part footage from LCD in one video to fit the theme "interruption."
