Description

"Sandin Dreams" is a mini-series within my collection "P I P E D R E A M S" that explores abstract environments created using VR drawing tools. The mini-series references the Sandin Image Processor, which was created by Dan Sandin in the early 70s. The Sandin Image Processor is a video synthesizer that creates ultra-saturated colors and patterns using various modules. There are only two Sandin Image Processors that belong to public institutions (SAIC and Alfred University) -- all of the other IPs are in private collections. The video textures on the CRT's were made using the Sandin at Alfred University. "Sandin Dreams" also pays homage to Nam June Paik's "TV Garden" (1974), which explores the connection between nature and technology. In this piece, nature is simulated by the abstract environment sculpted using Gravity Sketch on an Oculus Quest 2. - Abstract environment created using geometry nodes in Blender and VR drawings sculpted in Gravity Sketch - The Sandin model and CRTs was created using Blender - Video textures created using Sandin Image Processor - Other analog video feedback textures were captured on a 9" ORION CRT TV using a Canon EOS M200 twitter.com/micah_alhadeff
