Four-Minute Romp Through Alfred's Sandin Image Processor
2021, 4:29, HD video
An homage to Chicago artist and toolmaker Dan Sandin’s 1973 video, Five-minute Romp through the IP, in which Sandin demos the Image Processor (IP), a modular analog video synthesizer he built the same year, and encouraged artists to "copy it right." In this video (created while at an artist’s residency in Alfred, New York), Panzarino chromakeys in real-time the output of this rare and historically significant tool onto her green screen-colored nails. The resulting array of colorful images and patterns merge video art with nail art, and syncs to the music that Panzarino and her artistic collaborator, Laura Payeur, created while undergraduate students at Alfred University in 2002. Panzarino wears her hand-knit recreation of the unique hat Sandin wears in his 1973 video. This piece celebrates the physicality of hardware electronics and the DIY spirit of all things handmade.
