Product Information

You can see the individual pixels making up the image, so in that sense there’s something very active about the surface of the image,” Beard said. “It also favors the close-up, so there’s something very intimate, or — seen from a different perspective — claustrophobic, about the image. Because you have this very tiny lens, everything is equally in-focus and out-of-focus. There’s sort of an illusion of deep focus, except that things that are far away become illegible.” Continuous Recording: Continuous video recording with a 32GB MicroSD card (sold separately). Just insert the MicroSD into the base of the Wyze Cam and you’re all set. Video artist Sadie Benning is among the most critically acclaimed pioneers of the PXL2000, one of which was given to them by their father James Benning around the age of 15. Benning's early video diary works gained popularity in the artist market, earning them a lasting reputation as an innovator, with an important presence in video art. [19]

The PXL2000 consists of a simple aspherical lens, an infrared filter, a CCD image sensor, a custom ASIC (the Sanyo LA 7306M), and an audio cassette mechanism. This is mounted in a plastic housing with a battery compartment and an RF video modulator selectable to either North American television channel 3 or 4. It has a plastic viewfinder and some control buttons. Artist John Humphrey's 2003 video, Pee Wee Goes to Prison was shot on a PXL2000, employing a cast of dolls and other toys to stage the imaginary trial, incarceration, and eventual pardoning (by newly-elected president Jesse Ventura) of Pee-wee Herman for the sale of Yohimbe.

As the films became increasingly popular in the experimental art and LGBTQ film communities, they inspired a number of filmmakers to hunt down the now-extinct camera. One was Michael Almereyda, who saw the camera as a tool to make feature-length scripted films.Gerry Fialka 'PXL THIS' Archive (PA Mss 231)".

Growing up in Milwaukee, at one point Benning left high school in the face of homophobia. She started using the camera to make videos in her bedroom that were almost like daydream diaries; these would go on to become landmarks in the history of queer cinema. Benning would later say that she fell in love with the “animated quality” of the image that gave video an abstract quality.
