about

A record (0) onto which an empty groove has been cut is scanned visually. Two versions of this image, differing in magnitude and off-centre position, are then transferred physically into the grooves of two new records, 1 and 2. The images of 0 then appear visually on the surfaces of 1 and 2.

The imaging is achieved by modulating the amplitude of a carrier signal with the output of a brightness sensor. The sensor moves over the image of 0 in spiral circles, registering the recesses and elevations of the record's surface as represented in its scan. The sensor's trajectory exactly matches the vinyl groove of a 12" record, into which the resulting audio content is cut. Images of 0 then miraculously reappear on the new records' surfaces.

On playback, the modulated carrier signal can be heard: a sinewave at 1760 Hz (a frequency chosen for balancing image resolution with vinyl's tendency for geometric distortion) is probing the projected object like a sonar.

Cutting the audio files back to 12" records will reproduce the encoded images.
