ClutJoe Gilmore & Paul Emery: Clut | 5mins | DVD/DVPal 
'Clut' documents a series of experiments using an analogue and digital feedback system. The system consists of a digital 3d model displayed on a monitor which is in turn being captured by a video camera whose input is then textured back onto the surface of the 3d model. The camera input causes surface deformations in the 3d model according to luminance. These in turn feed subsequent iterations in the feedback loop. As the electronic loop moves with near lightspeed the input begins to change faster than the system can respond to it. The negative feedback signal begins to act as positive feedback causing the output to oscillate. The resulting image is dependent on a combination of variables such as camera and monitor settings, light amplification, scan rate, distance, angle, physical vibration and digital to analogue conversion. The soundtrack was generated in realtime by converting the video image into synthesised sound.
Clut is included in the Aurora DVD, 'Edition One' along with films by Thorsten Fleisch, Ben Rivers, Volker Schreiner and others. http://www.aurora.org.uk/editionone
