My Video Art (fractals, video feedback loops, etc)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the creation of video art designed to accompany Techno and House music in Berlin nightclubs. The artist, known as Mishka, utilizes concepts from physics such as diffraction patterns, fractals, and video feedback loops to create visually engaging pieces. The demo reel consists of 162 films totaling 12 hours, with minimal editing focused on removing unwanted footage. Viewers can explore the artwork through screenshots on Mishka's website, where they can also access specific clips via YouTube timestamps.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of video editing techniques, specifically cutting footage.
  • Familiarity with fractals and their visual representation.
  • Knowledge of video feedback loops and their application in art.
  • Basic concepts of diffraction patterns and light polarization.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro for enhanced editing capabilities.
  • Research the mathematical principles behind fractals and their artistic applications.
  • Learn about video feedback techniques and how to manipulate light for artistic effects.
  • Investigate the role of visual art in enhancing live music experiences, particularly in electronic genres.
USEFUL FOR

Visual artists, video editors, electronic music producers, and anyone interested in the intersection of art and technology in nightlife settings.

Hey, I just thought I would share some of my video art. They are meant to be visuals going alongside Techno / House music in the nightclubs of Berlin. However I got a lot of ideas from reading up on physics, like diffraction patterns, fractals, polarization of light / materials, lenses, video feedback loops, and so on. I guess it might be interesting for some of you to see, the only editing involved is cutting out bits of unwanted footage.

The video is my "demo-reel" and is a total of 12 hours long (162 films), so I would recommend checking out my website where I show screenshots of each film (hover your mouse over or click on an image to see its file number). Once you find the clip you like, click on its corresponding timestamp in the youtube description.

Here are the screenshots of my films:

And here is the actual film:

Thanks, yeah those video feedback fractals were fun to make. Once things are balanced correctly, you just add (or subtract) light in a certain timing and then the whole video evolves on its own. So it kind of feels like it creates its own life, but usually things always end up in these specific fractal patterns.
