Elos Atemporais is a videoclip made for the upcoming EP “TALASSOFOBIA” from sukya || porno, a band from São Paulo, Brazil. The work is my first experimentation in vector synthesis, and was greatly influenced by attending the Vector Hack Festival @ Zagreb, and also represents a return to analog VHS cameras.

The path of two completely different analog signals,
Drawn similarly by cathode ray tubes,
interconnected by two energy fields.

The videoclip featured Giovani Baroni (shown in the Oscilloscope), lead singer of the band and also Allena Arnold; it was shot in my apartment and in different locations in the city of Glasgow, Scotland, with the assistance of the hermano Santiago Taberna (@snnntiago).

With an oscilloscope - an instrument commonly used to visualize electronic waveforms - one can control its cathode rays to display any pattern on the screen using audio waves as an input. In terms of audio source I used a PC with the help of two libraries: Derek Holzer’s Pure Data library vectorsynth and Ted Davis’ Processing Library XYscope and also the Oscilloscope Graphic Artist, an electronic circuit designed by Mitchel Waite in the 70’s and resurected by Philip Baljeu. These signals were then patched to an ISO-Tech ISR620 oscilloscope, displaying the images which were then captured by a DSLR camera and edited in software (no retouching/video effects). A hi-8 camera was also used to shoot some scenes, specially the ones around Glasgow.
