Meet Dan Haywood (Animoscillator) — a video artist who experiments with dead media: Edirol V4s, CRTs, rescanning rigs, and the kind of analog feedback you have to chase for years before it starts answering back.

“Once I figured out feedback and how to manipulate it, I became obsessed. It was like I was struck by some arcane knowledge.”

Dan came up filming everything as a kid, then worked as a theater tech, tinkering with whatever obsolete analog gear was within reach. A Pink Floyd tribute band tour put his first Edirol V4 in his hands, and online video art forums gave him a community. Today his process leans on contentious experimentation, unpatching the rig and starting over when things stall, and a steady appetite for happy accidents.

Meet Alex Carro — an analog video artist whose curiosity grew into a daily practice during the 2020 lockdown.

“The tactile nature of analog video — turning k***s, patching cables, watching the signal collapse and reassemble — hooked me immediately.”

Alex patches a multi-path signal chain through TBC2, Ribbons, Diver, DSG, Aural Scan, and Memory Palace, splitting the final feed between a clean V4EX path and a BPMC Video Nasty glitch loop. This year he is exploring still image generation alongside his VJ performances and album cover work.
