SCAN is a project based on the repetetiveness of mechanical movement, achieved through both audio and video circuit bending.
The movement of a scanner's light, filmed with a short-circuit camera, generates a continuous video alteration. The progressive increase in speed leads to an increasing distorsion that ends in black. Running parallel to this movement, the sound repeats itsef around the recitation of a Koranic sura, and altering this vocal performance with industrial sonorities.

What is needed
The instrumentation includes various bended pieces (all fitting in a 60x40 cm box), a scanner and a short-circuit camera.
Our only needs are: a videoprojector, a projection screen, a mixer and of course speakers. We also need some props, roughly 50 cms high (like boxes or small tables) where we can put the scanner and the camera.
