InstaCRT is Rube Goldberg's answer to Instagram

Instacrt The Verge

Swedish developer Martin Ström, filmmaker Ruben Broman, and photographer Erik Wåhlström have teamed up to create a unique filter system for your iPhone images, using a real-world 1-inch CRT monitor. InstaCRT takes a typical iPhone camera image and instead of applying a software filter, it sends the photo to a machine in Sweden where it's projected onto a 1-inch CRT screen (from a VHS camera) and a modern DSLR snaps a photo of the screen and sends it back to your iPhone.


Described as "the world's first real world camera filter," the developers created the unique filter as a "response to all the faux photoshoppn' filters out there." It takes around 20-30 seconds to process each photo, based on a Ruby script created by Martin Ström.

"Really weird to just hear the camera all the time taking photos behind your back"

Speaking to us...

It's not a filter, it's brute force engineering
