The Xelatype: a journey through time and space

Talk by Tim Jacobs

In my quest for Weird Art, long have I wanted to build a digital slit-scan camera. The idea was to take a linear CCD, a load of RAM, and glue them together with an FPGA. But as I pursued the project, things went in a strange new direction, and I ended up creating something different, something so fascinatingly odd that it changed the way I think about time and space. It all got quite philosophical. Egotistically I named the project after my online alias, and then kept it secret for the best part of a decade. If this talk is accepted, all shall be revealed...
