optical confusion explores videofeedback and video modulation through a simple chain of basic video processes. resulting in evolving, intrincate, emergent motion and micro-patterns. the piece consists on four different 'buffers' (video channels) these channels get displaced by carefully crafted cross-modulation processes realtime on hydra videosynthesizer ★⌒☆⌒★⌒☆⌒★☆⌒★☆ interactivity -press s to save a screen capture -press v for a variation, to further explore the posibilities -press 1, 2, 3 or 4 to visualize the various buffers present in the patch, each consecutive works as a hidden modulation layer of the previous -press 0 to visualize all buffers at once -press t to randomly switch between the buffers ‿︵‿︵︵‿‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣ɞ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿ buenos aires, argentina <09/2023>
