📖OVERVIEW
"Psychological osmosis research using analog video synthesis"
In the ever-evolving landscape of media art, analog video stands as a testament to the transformative power of technological mediums in their most rudimentary forms. Analog video art has a unique aesthetic and texture that differs from digital processes. It allows artists to have a hands-on connection to their work.
Analog video synthesizers act as a conduit for the transference of innermost emotions, perceptions, and experiences onto a visual medium. Drawing parallels to the process of osmosis, where solvents pass through a semi-permeable membrane until equilibrium is achieved, this project posits that analog video synthesis can serve as a medium for “psychological osmosis.”
Viewers, when immersed in these synthesized visuals, undergo a form of perceptual osmosis. The abstract nature of analog video art allows viewers to superimpose their own experiences, feelings, and memories onto the work. This can lead to a shared, yet deeply personal, experiential space.
The goal of videoPainting is to use analog video synthesis as a bridge, connecting the psychological inner worlds of both creator and observer, achieving a unique equilibrium in artistic expression and perception.
