Videosyntezy. Cartographies of the analog turn exemplified by the Tribute to Stan Ostoja-Kotkowski project.
Video synthesis is a method of producing images using a video synthesizer that can generate images without any external input, such as a camera. It was developed mainly in the sixties in the United States by artists such as Steve Rutt, Bill Etra, Daniel Sandin, Robert Moog, Steina and Woody Vasulka, Nam June Paik and many others. What is important about this technology is its immediate performative nature, subversive use, and synesthetic dimension. Images and sounds have the same source, electromagnetic waves, and are created because of live interaction with the machine (video synthesizer). The article, which was supposed to be a kind of curatorial notes, is an attempt to show some cartographies of methods of media archaeology practices, using the example of the Tribute to Stan Ostoja-Kotkowski project presented during Vidoesyntezy exhibition.
