In the U.S. in the early 1950s, Ben F. Laposky used an oscilloscope and hand-made electronic circuits to create abstract art. He is credited with making the first computer graphics and as a pioneer of electronic art using analog circuits and a cathode ray tube oscilloscope.
This workshop will introduce and present a historic overview of Oscillographics and allow hands-on experience of a range of techniques made available through the combination of cheap and accessible ‘junked’ vintage oscilloscopes and a range of now accessible electronic circuits and ‘modules’ that have granted new access to an often forgotten medium.
