My fascination with oscilloscope art began when I received a vintage oscilloscope as a gift. I was captivated by the possibility of creating visual art on an analog device using only stereo audio input.

The unique qualities of the CRT screen—so distinct from modern displays—create an otherworldly effect. Each image appears as a fleeting moment, impossible to perfectly reproduce, while the screen's characteristic glow gives life to the figures within, evoking a sense of animated beings trapped in a luminous box.

Inspired by other oscilloscope artists, I sought to push the medium further by developing a process for real-time image display. Using TouchDesigner, I created a system that converts live visual data—whether from camera input, animation, or 3D graphics—into audio streams that can be sent directly to the oscilloscope.

This experimentation culminated in a music video for EYE's song "Sabine," which embodied the ethereal quality of the medium.
