3D-printed Music
Short, sweet, and simple demonstration of the motors of a 3D printer playing music:
NO PRINTER WHERE HARMED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS HACK!
(however this doesn’t mean that yours won’t be, use at own risk)At art hack day in Stockholm 2013 and using a Lulzbot 3D-printer I tried to visualize
different classical musical pieces.The project explores the alternative uses of 3D-printers. It’s being used to create
unique art by printing classical pieces of music while at the same time acting as
an instrument and performing the music itself.The stepper motors controlling the movement can be run at different speeds,
the speed decides the pitch of the sound and makes it possible for the motors to make music. -

Amon Tobin - ISAM Final Show - Hammersmith Apollo, London (08/03/13)
Finally managed to get to see the show … and thank god I did …
Absolutely fantastic - the video above is only a small example of what to expect (apologies for the crap quality). The party was definitely at the back.
The Tate Modern should consider doing a 20 year anniversary showing of this in the future …

High Contrast - Spectrum Analyser - Official Video
From the Prosthetic Knowledge inbox, from Felix Pels:
Hi there,I check in with the Prosthetic Knowledge blog every now and again and really like what you post on there.
I figured that you’d probably like the video by High Contrast. Very glitchy
No commercial relation with High Contrast or the like, just the aesthetic seemed relevant for your style.
A music video that employs various art-tech methods and references, a cocktail of databending, glitch, vhs video, 8Bit graphics and sprites, 3D, Net Art - all put together well, worth a look if you like this sort of stuff. Video embedded below:
Thanks Felix :)

slitscanner.js
Bookmarklet can turn HTML5 videos on Youtube and Vimeo into slitscan-like images:
Slitscanner is a little piece of Javascript you can run as a bookmarklet to start, well, slitscanning videos online. This only works in the HTML5 video players so for Vimeo you will need to select “Switch to HTML5 Player” in the lower right on the video pages. For YouTube it’s a little trickier, you can opt into the HTML5 test here, but they will still use the Flash Player for videos with ads.
… Just hit the bookmarklet on any YouTube or Vimeo video page with an HTML5 player, and it will start drawing onto a canvas in the browser. You can modify the speed with the slider (the default value draws the entire video to the width of the browser). You can also download the code and modify it as you wish.
You can find out more and get the bookmarklet here, plus here is a Tumblr blog with some more examples
Examples above:
