A Synth Library at CETI Presentation
Learn the fundamentals of live performance with video and light. This hands-on workshop, led by Andrei Jay and Paloma Kop of Phase Shift Collective, will cover topics including working with video mixers, processors, synthesizers, video feedback in many forms, and classic light show techniques. From the occult details of quadrature amplitude modulation to how camera feedback models reaction-diffusion systems, this workshop will help beginners get started doing live visuals, and fill in any gaps an experienced video artist might have. No prerequisite knowledge of anything is required to have a good time!
This workshop is intended for complete beginners to circuit design, you don’t need to know anything about how electronics work or ever touched a breadboard before. Some familiarity with synthesizers may help, but it’s not necessary.

Andrei Jay is a mathematician, video artist, educator, and soft/hardware designer. Andrei’s main focus is on de-emphasizing the consumerist nature of technology-based art and artistic and educational communications by designing open-source video synthesis systems, working heavily with “e-waste” and “dumpstered” components, and hosting a wide variety of free and donation-based pre-recorded and live workshops and tutorials. Andrei’s secondary focuses include the study of nonlinear dynamics and iterative feedback systems in digital and analog signal processing chains, emergent behavior and complex systems, and analog digital hybrid video signal systems as spatiotemporal research tools.

Paloma Kop is an experimental multimedia artist and ambient musician from Woodstock, New York. Paloma's work often uses electronic media, from analog video and synthesizers to digital systems, as well as various physical materials and processes. Paloma is especially interested in feedback loops, recursion, fluid dynamics, self-organizing and emergent structures, patterns in nature, psychedelia, and embodied sensory experience.
