LZX Industries

LZX Industries LZX Industries builds electronic instruments for creating and performing visual art with video signals. Portland, Oregon. Founded 2010.

LZX Industries was born in 2008 out of the Synth DIY scene when Lars Larsen of Denton, Texas and Ed Leckie of Sydney, Australia began collaborating on the development of a modular video synthesizer. At that time, analog video synthesizers were inaccessible to artists outside of a handful of studios and universities. It is our continuing mission to design creative video instruments that (1) stay within the financial means of the artists who wish to use them, (2) honor and preserve the legacy of 20th century toolmakers, and (3) expand the boundaries of possibility regardless of commercial viability. The community of enthusiasts employing our tools in their personal meditations and artworks is what makes our mission possible.

Teletect PixSort: color strands, flowing smears, and stepped damage.

"PixSort is more restrained over time, while Mosaic produces more flicker and movement in active images," says Phil.

Teletect Mosaic: adaptive blocks, strands, poster, and sampled color.

"PixSort and Mosaic are granular spatial pixel-manipulation effects. They smear and obscure the image while retaining the source's colour," says Phil. Mosaic "produces more flicker and movement in active images."

Teletect RamBend: RAM tracking tears, retained blocks, and prism dragging.

"In my opinion, RamBend is the best program to load first. It's the most fun to explore, with a range of textures and distortions to discover across different images," says Phil.
