Rutt-Etra video synth: RIP Bill Etra
Just learned of video synth creator Bill Etra due to his passing. For those unaware, he co-created the Rutt-Etra video synth which produces some beautiful images that i thought might be of interest to those in the Max community, especially those using Jitter (admittedly i barely know anything about Jitter, so maybe this imagery might not impress the seasoned vets but it touched me).
Bill Etra explaining the synth:

Woody Vasulka & Brian O'Reilly performing with it:

*Woody & his partner Steina are early video art pioneers, dive deeper into their work...
Enjoy!
noticed the existance of the etra video synth just two days ago.
A few years ago in, the WRO Art Center (http://wrocenter.pl), with which I'm networked was presented an exhibition called "AC/DC/IT" (http://wrocenter.pl/en/ac-dc-it/). One of the installations in this exhibition, which I co-created, was build as a modern (but referring to some old-fashioned technologies) variation of the scanprocessor. Here is a link: http://paweljanicki.jp/projects_ctrend_en.html
The installation is based on MaxMSP patch.
@2k thanks for sharing the patch!
