Animoscillator creates analog glitch art with old tech

Dan Haywood uses the tongue-in-cheek slogan

“Watch More TV” for the work he creates as Animoscillator. An antithesis to the ’80s movement to “Kill Your Television,” Animoscillator uses technology from the era to bring TV back as a form of visual and installation art. ink groups of old TVs — the big clunky ones using cathode-ray tubes rather than

e work, he said, uses “multiple TVs as an art installation where not only the visuals on the TV is the art, but the structure and installation itself. It’s all one.”

On the screens, a variety of images are repeated, changing colors and perspectives in a wild visual journey that is part kaleidoscope and part acid trip.

“I should probably put a seizure warning on some of my pieces,” Haywood said Tuesday from the collectioncluttered work room in his south Bozeman home.

TVs are grouped on a table and cascading down his work space. Others line shelves that also house his collections of guitar pedals and synthesizers.

“I’m trying my best to make art out of this stu that would otherwise be thrown away,” he said.

One such piece of equipment is “the heart and brain” of Haywood’s art — the Edirol V-4. He has ve of them, linked by miles of cable in his studio.

“ at’s what opened up my world,” he said. “I was like ‘Ooooh, you can get weird with this stu .’”

e V-4 is an analog video mixer with digital e ects, like mirroring or colorizing the images. More importantly for Haywood, however, comes when the output is fed back into the mixer, multiplying the image on screen and creating lines of feedback.

“ en you put e ects on the feedback,” he explained. “ at’s where the art really happens”

As Haywood has taken a

as analog glitch art, this equipment has become even more precious. Haywood makes nearly weekly visits to Sack’s and Do Over thrift stores in Bozeman and frequents eBay, Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist online in search.

“My heart skips a beat when I nd one on eBay within my price range,” he said. He even requested a plea to the readers, o ering to take any of these now antiquated pieces of technology o their hands.

“If anyone is looking to get rid of a CRT TV, reach out to me,” he said, noting these TVs went out of production in the early 2000s. “ ey’re getting so hard to come by.” Haywood rst encountered a video camera when he was in elementary school, thanks to an aunt who brought one to the family’s home in New Hampshire.

Jennifer Nettles

OF ‘FARMER WANTS A WIFE’ ON FOX

Where is the appeal for you in serving as host of “Farmer Wants a Wife”?

When you get into these stories, it is compelling ... and for me, it’s always with my beginner’s eyes, and with the heart of an artist in terms of being super-playful and seeing things through a specific lens. I get a lot of joy out of this show.

How comfortably has production of the series fit into your schedule overall?

You know, the universe chuckles at me often. I’ve been working on a movie project in Atlanta, and the majority what we shot for “Farmer Wants a Wife” overlapped on the weekends between the five-day-a-week, 14-hour workdays (on the movie). It has worked out wonderfully well, though, and I’m supergrateful when it does come this way, because it does allow me to expand in other areas.

‘Ordinary People’ is an extraordinary film

For his directing debut, Robert Redford couldn’t have done much better than “Ordinary People.” The deeply moving 1980 screen version of Judith Guest’s novel – being shown by MGM+ Marquee on Monday, March 13, and MGM+ on Wednesday, March 15 – earned an Oscar for Redford among its four wins, which also included best picture. Timothy Hutton picked up a best supporting actor trophy as Conrad Jarrett, a profoundly troubled Chicago-suburb teen whose quest to come to terms with his emotions has a huge impact on other relationships.

The main one is that of his parents, Calvin and Beth, superbly played by Donald Sutherland and (in a notable break from the television image she had cultivated) Mary Tyler Moore. While Calvin is warm and concerned, Beth is cold and impatient ... and though he has tried to look past her flaws, that becomes all but impossible. The superb cast also includes Judd Hirsch and (in her film debut) Elizabeth McGovern.

more retro rewinds

“Mary Poppins” (Freeform, Sunday, March 12): Who can resist the 1964 movie that was trumpeted as “Walt Disney’s masterpiece,” particularly with Julie Andrews’ Oscarwinning title performance as the truly magical nanny? She’s supported by a great music score (by the legendary Sherman brothers) and wonderful co-stars led by Dick Van Dyke as chimney sweep Bert.

“The Brady Bunch” (MeTV, Sunday, March 12): One of this sitcom’s most memorable guest appearances was featured in “Getting Davy Jones,” in which Marcia (Maureen McCormick) believes that getting the musical Monkee to perform at her school prom will be a cinch. She soon learns that being the president of his local fan club doesn’t have quite the clout she thought ... a big problem, since others expect her to fulfill her promise of delivering the star.

“We still talk about it today,” Haywood said. “She knew I had a future in it because I couldn’t get enough of it.”

Later, his mom bought a camera to record family memories. Haywood remembers using it so much it essentially became his. She bought him his own one Christmas in high school. Haywood would use his video camera to create music videos — usually to Pink Floyd songs. He says he still uses the camera today.

This obvious love brought Haywood to Montana, where he started at Montana State University as a film major before diverting most of his attention to music.

Haywood has played in local groups like Modern Sons, In Walks Bud and Do It Kappa. Pandemic lockdowns prompted a re-evaluation of priorities for Haywood. No longer performing, he turned back to his art.

“I shifted my focus from the music thing to the video thing and within months I was getting way more traction on that than I was any of the music stuff,” he said.

He’s down to one band now, Anaconda Vice, though he gets his fill of live music as lighting director at The Elm and The Rialto and technical director at Live from the Divide in Bozeman.

While he talked, many of the TVs around Haywood’s studio were playing footage of cowboys and a rodeo that he found for a music video for King Ropes. He has also made videos for bands like My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult and been featured in Rolling Stone magazine for his work.

Haywood is prepping for the Treefort Festival, March 22-26 in Boise.

Animoscillator’s video installation became popular as a social media background in previous years. This year, the festival commissioned him directly.

To prepare, Haywood spends hours getting “deep into the internet,” scouring for royalty free footage, or the weirdest stuff he can find. He’s inspired by the Godzilla films, pro wrestling, campy 1980s and 1990s horror, and even filters on social media apps like Instagram and TikTok that create googly eyes or other effects.

In light of recent trends like portraits created using artificial intelligence, Haywood has been contemplating the question: “Is AI art art at all?” He uses AI art as source material and then manipulates it into art that is all his own.

Mavs hope Irving is the final piece to a championship team

The Brooklyn Nets’ recent teardown of the remainder of their “Big Three” was one of the most disheartening things for a basketball fan to see in recent memory. But you’ll have to excuse the Dallas Mavericks’ faithful if they don’t share that sentiment.

For in getting eight-time All Star point guard Kyrie Irving in a trade deadline deal, the Mavs may have vaulted themselves to the forefront of the playoff conversation in the Western Conference.

In his first four games since joining Dallas on Feb. 6, Irving has been a monster, averaging 28 points per game on 53.3 percent shooting, with seven assists and 1.3 steals. And from three-point range, he’s been blistering, with a 43 percent success rate.

His most impressive performance came against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Feb. 13, when down by 26 he led a furious charge with 26 fourth quarter points only to fall short on the final possession in a 124-121 loss at home.

Though his time in Brooklyn was a mix of at-times brilliant play, controversy and overall weirdness, the Mavericks hope the 30-year-old Australian can put all that behind him and focus on winning. They’re betting he can form a formidable tandem with their homegrown superstar Luka Doncic and lead the team up the West standings and into a top postseason seeding in the season’s final weeks.

Irving and the Mavs can be seen in action Monday, March 13, when they play host to the conference and division rival Memphis Grizzlies in a game airing on ESPN.
