I doubt if it's the same thing, but in the late 80's I saw several
performances by an L.A. outfit called Freshly Wrapped Candies that featured
the video work of Radames Pera and his wife. They'd stack 4 Proton monitors
2x2 behind the stage, then stick a camera out the back of their van and feed
the monitors with output from their Fairlight CVI video synthesizer in the
truck. They could either do real-time manipulation of the camera signal or
do complete synthetic generation in real-time. A helluva nice box they had.
I wanted one :-)
(BTW, for any North Americans who have this weird feeling in their brain right
now nagging at them that this "Radames Pera" sounds familiar ... he was the
"Young Kwai-Chang Cain" on the original "Kung Fu" TV series. He's also a
really nice guy, and his wife was really nice as well. She used to front an
old L.A. band called Cypher back in the early 80's ... )
