Louis bends circuits to find the soul of electronic toys
Need Flashplayer!
Louis was 7 years old when he received his first robot. A gift from his father, Louis was fascinated by the liberty at which the toy moved on its own. But it wasn’t until Louis broke the robot that he found his artistry.
The 19 year-old now creates short circuits in electronic toys, finding hidden things inside them and creating sounds that have never been heard by anyone. “By circuit bending, fiddling and tampering, it’s as if I am allowing luck to take its revenge on logic,” explains Louis.
Louis then takes these toys to a place where they can be seen and heard in context, letting their sounds resonate until they run out of batteries. “Sometimes I wonder if it lasted, if someone head it” he says, “But, after all, what matters is that it existed.”

So f****ing cool.
Interesting guy. If you tried to explain more of the technical stuff in an easy to understand way it would’ve been better though. Still, great production!
Very cool video !
Love the ending image near the lake…
