FPGA art

Hello everyone,

Something quick to entertain you for a few minutes. I built an FPGA video synthesizer. You can see it in action, plus some additional info here: (epileptics beware!)

I have performed with this synthesizer at the 2007 Monterrey Forum of Cultures, and at this year's International Symposium of Visual Studies, also in Monterrey. The star of the show was a Spartan 3E Starter Kit!

Anyway, hopefully this will inspire others to explore the artistic possibilities of programmable logic. Maybe there will be a scene some day ;)

Regards,

-Sergio, from Mexico

Hi,

A good video. Thanks. Do you fully control the shapes?

From the video page:

"How does it work? It basically renders a wire frame model. The vertices of the model can be moved around using the keyboard. You don't really have much control over the shape. The keyboard is sort of a "random data source", which means the user just bashes the keyboard like a monkey until something pretty shows up on the screen ;). More precise controls could be easily implemented, but I am happy with them as they are now."

Just scroll down the page for more info.
