The Commodore 64 was an iconic home computer that was first introduced in 1982. While the Cyanotype process invented in 1842 by Sir John Herschel remains to this day a classic alternative photography process. I tackle both feats in this mash up crazy fun video. All the music was made with the Commodore 64 Synthesiser using Cythncart, Midi card and some major mods to make the whole thing portable! You'll learn how to build C64 synth and make a Cyanotype print with a UV box. Two increbile inventions and two fun projects to do!
