Les Tubes sont l'âmes des nos sens

The sequence tells a story whose narrative is ultimately up to the viewer's experience. Photograph of Thomas Edison viewing moving pictures through his kinetoscope, one of the earliest known motion picture devices which he invented in the late 1880s. I knocked out the original kinetoscope using masks and used the Saber plugin in After Effects to create waveforms with audio reaction. I created the white noise image from a simple layer with noise and grain effect, then stretched, animated, and completed it with sound effects. I designed the sound in Adobe Audition, using archived clips (listed below) from various radio and television broadcasts from the 1920s through 1940s, and I added static and signal interference sounds to create Edison's changing channels, and layered some of the sounds over a few of the clips.
