First of all, what is Circuit Bending? Wikipedia defines it as follows:

Circuit bending is the creative short-circuiting of low voltage, battery-powered electronic devices such as guitar effects, children’s toys and small synthesizers to create new musical instruments and sound generators. Emphasizing spontaneity and randomness, the techniques of circuit bending have been commonly associated with noise music, though many more conventional contemporary musicians and musical groups have been known to experiment with “bent” instruments.

Video Circuit Bending is taking video processing equipment, and modify it so that it yields unpredictible, yet interesting glitches.

This is a collection of projects, some of which have schematics. Some of the projects, you can build with very few basic parts, and some other require video equipment (some of which you can pick up for a few dollars at a garage sale or a flea market). Check it out!
