Good lord what is happening in there?!
Lol cathode magic, won't you stay and have a look around? :)
Super cool!
Thanks for checking it out!
Gonna use them as desktop wallpaper if you don't mind!
Not at all, glad you enjoy them!
Can I ask how you make these? Are they drawn or are they constructed using other means like math?
Edit: I see now in the sidebar that they're actually generated on CRTs.
So I take two media sources that will blend to create some cool colors and shapes, I set up my camera in front of the CRT and capture whats on the screen. I then take those images and mirror them.
With the TV already putting off those clean lines between the lights, it gives that neat effect like it's all connected through the mirroring process. I'll see shapes and patterns develop as I go and work the image around them.
I just took a look at your how to video. Very cool. Is this a process you came up with, or did something inspire the idea?
Thanks for checking it out, it's a process I came up with. I clean out houses for a job so I'm always coming across old tvs and thought of ways I can use them instead of watching this finite tech waste away and get tossed.
