486 Shorts stems from a personal interaction with an ordinarily closed off part of a common machine. By getting inside the "black box" (the casing of an archaic computer), LoVid reached the physical location where signals are passed. Connections were made on the circuit board of the video card, using wire to produce "short videos". Recordings made from these shorts were then edited into 486 short clips, each corresponding to one of the physical shorts. 486 Shorts is a limited-edition LikeLike release of 486 DVDs, each lovingly packaged in etched-cardboard and hand-harvested circuitboards. 486 Shorts will be released on November 21 at ScrapCycle 2008. Visit AnalogousProjects.org or ScrapCycle.org for more information. (486 Shorts was recorded during a residency at iEAR in 2006.
