static noise simulator
As a kid I've always been fascinated by static noise from a tv. I liked the hypnotic flickering and always tried to find pattern in the noise. I haven't seen any noise on a tv-screen for a while (are they even capable of displaying noise?) so I wrote a simulator for static noise in processing.

Most modern TVs still have analog tuners so they can still tune to the static pattern you want. However, because they are smart they blank static channels. They do this by looking for a well formed blanking bar. No bar, no channel. It is possible to create a circuit to insert a valid blanking barand leave the static.
