Sergey Teterin, Perm (Russia) Movie Mincer Show 2004, Perm (Russia)

It is low-tech and multimedia performance where an old soviet mincer is used as a laptop-connected device to manually generated video streams (mincer > laptop > beamer > screen). Movie mincer allows to show motion pictures by turning the mincer's handle reviving and parodying the atmosphere of the first performances from the very dawn of cinema era. Each movie represents a set of JPEG pictures projected in series which corresponds literally to the "moving pictures" definition. No special video-software is required.
