Circuit Bent SNES Installation Test

A proof of concept for an installation using my circuit bent super nintendo. The cartridge being used here is "Mohawk and Headphone Jack," this really weird obscure game I picked up for some infinitely small amount of pocket change. Turns out it has a great exploit where, by entering into this bizarre map mode, you can move around the plane using the SNES controller even after heavy glitching; it's very stable. A bonus is that the audio can be feedbacked into this process, as heard in this video- the audio is responding in realtime to rotating, panning, and zooming in and out. The glitches themselves have an almost cellular automata feel to them and are based on patches I discovered playing around with a super turrican cartridge. Video quality is not the best here but it's just a demo after all!

Love the noises it makes; reminds me of Enigma aka "the backwards radio station." Found this looking to see if anyone had circuit bent an N64.
