Another thing you can do with overhead projectors is get some moiré patterns printed on transparencies, layer two identical or similar ones, and manually manipulate them.

Works great coupled with the liquids. I like video and laser light shows too, but I love keeping the analog visuals alive!

Nice!

Yeah. Space can be a concern. If a venue has a sound board that is located central-back area,
they don't tend to want you suspending sloshy staining liquids over their sound console.

Which is why old town-halls with an existing video projector suspended from the ceiling can be
awesome. But... although such town halls exist in my slice of rural Ontario, such things aren't
wide spread everywhere.

The moiré effect from screen/pattern overlay is a great way to make moving weirdness.
It would also be cool if this Critter& Guitari stuff had a "green-screen" capability. Like... if
the device output a color area that could be filled by whatever video signal you fed into it.
So you could have space shapes made by the audio coming into the device, and then inside
the green shapes (for instance) you could have whatever video you fed into the machine,
but just in that green shape areas. This kind of stuff was easily enough done with the Video Toaster
devices that gave the aesthetic of all cable access shows from the '80s into the '90s. But... I don't
think those devices are easy to come by anymore.

Totally off topic, but what part of rural Ontario are you located in? I'm in Port Hope

I'm in Prince Edward County.

You guys call that rural? Come on up to Thunder Bay. We can jam out in some caves or an abandoned mine or something.

ILF Rural Ontario meet up?
But no Port Hope is barely rural. Pretty much still part of the GTA

Good idea! Except jamming in an abandoned nickel mine might lead to a band called... Nickelunder.


And although PEC has been slowly turning into Toronto's summer camp, there are (for the moment)
still family farms here. Although most of the families running the orchards have already retired—they
ripped out all the apple trees and sold their land to developers or winery speculators. So PEC is on
the verge of becoming part of the GTA.

Something simillar to those videos on the last page can be done with reflectve material and laser pointers. The lasers will reflect to the ceiling and walls and move to the input. Did it with a small speaker, balloon, and a cd, a long time ago just playing around at home.
