Ether Ferry was exhibited at Airborn II: Transmission co-curated by The New Museum and free103point9. In Ether Ferry, LoVid manipulates signal breakdown and establishes a tactile relationship with technology. Ether Ferry features a live video feed generated by an electrical signal simultaneously broadcast between multiple video transmitters and receivers. The video signal is pure feedback of raw electrical signal through transmitters and receivers vintage analog video mixers and processors.

In the installation video transmitters and receivers are placed in two sliding boxes. Visitors are able to slide the boxes and change the levels of mixing and decay between the signals. The change in the relative locations of the transmitters and receivers affects the resulting video produced by the system. The sliding boxes and the plasma screen are covered with handmade fabric patchwork. The patchworks are created from video stills printed on fabric. The video stills are screen captures from a video recorded with the Ether Ferry system before the exhibition. The video-generated fabric is an example for LoVid's explorations of the translation and preservation of signals. By printing the video on fabric and bringing the fabric back into the installation we draw visitors into a tactile hands-on interaction with technology.
