Each video is a real-time synthesized recording in which sound and image are parallel structures, often using periodic waveforms as image and sound source material. Schlanger is both an artist and a tool maker. He has been working with analog synthesizers since the 1980s, and continues to create video in his home studio in Nyack, NY.

I keep things.Shoes wear out twice. Shirts last past many washings, patches. I have a wool shirt that once seemed scratchy, now it is smooth comfort. 50 years just happens with some things. Ideas, strong enough to last, provide the same sustenance. Some ideas are not meant to last. The young have difficulty picking among them.
flexichrome — photographs are always colorized, it’s just that some tell better color lies..
i seem to repeat myself .. someone, at some time asked a question..on the web, nothing ever finishes; nothing is ever found.
flexhichrome.
just Friday (yesterday), as if by synchronicity, C found an old Flexichrome brochure among poetry magazines she was reviewing… keep, or pass along..
That refreshed my thinking about some posts I made several years ago… I wrote, but never published.
The Flexichrome process has special memories… serving as release from constraints that I was setting upon myself too early in my career to recognize as bad habits. Habit of “giving away” my eyes. to some prior, unknown visionary. Why let them set my standards?
So, maybe I will finish and release the tech post I made more than a decade ago on the process of Flexichrome.

Relative humidity as well as other concepts will apply longer than the specific instance. that’s how firms as well as art schools and studios acquire and extend practice and theory awareness..
early, in fact my first reading about application of registration of masks and subs, included paper tape. when I realized that paper tape included an envelope with adhesive, I was able to revive a method from the 40s when packaging tape was widely available.. this was part of making a ‘cab,’ a carrier to hold mask and original.
The general principle must be combined, must be modified by your local current awareness; what’s available to you locally, currently. photography, all plastic Art as a practice includes a physical component, a manual component.. Our current change to a “text to image ” is part of the sense of many that we lose skills — visual art becomes removed from prior plastic concerns and privileges. The scale of the hand, the privileges granted to those practitioners with that skill diminishes when that skill no longer controls the input to the eye of the receiver..
Conception to perception is a tough path for some. particularly for those stuck forever in perpetual adolescence.
