The video does not prove much though, there may be copycats fabricating all sorts of things for fun. Certainly the person either had no knowledge how to use soldering iron or it is all part of the prank.
Edit: did we have 1280x720 digital video 12 years ago? The quality of the video fragments is very consistent through the video, though supposedly there was 12 years time difference between shooting them.
Agreed, while 720 was available, the rehearsal segment around 2:35 taken in vertical 16:9 has only been a thing since smartphones introduced it about five or six years ago. There wasn’t even an iPhone in 2006, and the first iPhone wouldn’t even take video. The first smartphone able to take 720 video was released in 2009.
We also need to take a look at the means available to the artist in 2006, while he could undoubtedly resource this now, his income would not have realistically funded this back then, let alone the means to record this at such good definition.
The slit for the shredded version is very close to the back of the frame, but this doesn’t seem to match the various video claims.
Then there is the vertical registration mismatch. The slit exit is about an inch behind the picture. When I aligned pictures of the unshredded version to the half-shredded version, you’d expect there to be a significant discontinuity due to the additional depth offset going past the roller. That discontinuity isn’t there when you compare various reference points.
