HOW TO – Circuit bend… a computer!

Get LoFi shows how to “circuit bending” a computer, nice! – “Computer Bending Yes, it is possible. I always wondered what would happen if you start circuit bending a computer. The obvious answer is that it will crash. Indeed it is not very good to cross pins on the motherboard. However this does not always hold true for the Video ram chips. My original idea was to start bending the video inpired by some Nintendo Cart bending that I have seen. The ISA video card which I began experimenting with had 512kb chips in individual sockets. The initial exploration yielded interesting results, scrambled video, aliasing, noise. Great!” – Link.
