This is a radically revised implementation of the feedback algorithm. As well as a host of optimisations, I've added an extra layer of video and more options for colourising both the video and the feedback independently, which gives it a unique look.
I'm using a technique where the presentation of the work adjusts to the hardware it's being presented on. It will adjust to any aspect ratio, but there is a chance that the feedback will operate slightly differently on different graphics cards. This possibility is a planned emergent facet of the work.
The video clip is again one that I recorded in Berlin in 2007 of a rotating cube with LED's embedded into it. I get a great joy in reviving these old images that I used to VJ with 'back in the day' and recontextualising them in a whole different setting.
