In this series of 4 workshops, we’ll look at how to interconnect the different 80 modules that come with Vsynth, exploring video techniques and practices that can create aesthetics associated with the history of the electronic image but also complex patterns founded in some basic functions of nature.
Here’s what you’ll learn in each workshop:
8th July: video oscillators, mixers, colorizers.
15th July: modulations (pm, fm, pwm, hue, among others).
