Stuff could be anything, digital or physical, but the idea is of discussing and doing it as a hobby without any pressure or push to make it a business or side-gig. Nothing against that, simply that communities/groups with that atmosphere are easy enough to find as-is.
So I take two media sources that will blend to create some cool colors and shapes, I set up my camera in front of the CRT and capture whats on the screen. I then take those images and mirror them.
With the TV already putting off those clean lines between the lights, it gives that neat effect like it's all connected through the mirroring process. I'll see shapes and patterns develop as I go and work the image around them.
Thanks for checking it out, it's a process I came up with. I clean out houses for a job so I'm always coming across old tvs and thought of ways I can use them instead of watching this finite tech waste away and get tossed.
I told someone a couple months ago I would make a video when this hit 100 subscribers and I think it's pretty close so Ill make a post later today showing the process visually.
But in case you miss it, I take that original, mirror it sometimes over 10 times. Each mirror will add or remove shapes and patterns so it all depends on how you work it with each addition or reduction.
I go into it taking the original photo with colors in mind really and then as I'm mirroring I see certain shapes appear and I work the image around them usually.

Where to find online communities of people making stuff mainly as a hobby?
