Media Burn
Ant Farm: Chip Lord, Doug Michels, Curtis Schrier, Uncle Buddie
1975, 23:02 min, color, sound
Media Burn integrates performance, spectacle and media critique, as Ant Farm stages an explosive collision of two of America's most potent cultural symbols: the automobile and television. On July 4, 1975, at San Francisco's Cow Palace, Ant Farm presented what they termed the "ultimate media event." In this alternative Bicentennial celebration, a "Phantom Dream Car"—a reconstructed 1959 El Dorado Cadillac convertible—was driven through a wall of burning TV sets.
Mediations is an excerpt from a reworked version of Soundings.
Produced with the Bronx Museum of Art, Melehi is a portrait of the Moroccan painter Mohammed Melehi and his work. Shot in the artist's Casablanca studio and in Rabat, Marrakech, and the Atlas mountains, the tape places Melehi within the larger tradition of Islamic art and culture. Inspired by the...
A wry comedy on the disagreeable aspects of menstruation, in which women act out their own dramas on a California hillside, in a supermarket, in a red-filtered ritual of mutual bonding. Menses combines both the imagery and the politics of menstruation in a fine blend of comedy and drama.
Lies & Humiliations is a haunting and lyrical work that merges poetic language and Super-8 images to invoke memory and its ghosts. Infused with an almost ethereal light, images of a house evoke its past — an old-fashioned kitchen and dining room, an ancient roof. Visions that recall childhood...

Merce by Merce by Paik Part One: Blue Studio: Five Segments
Merce Cunningham and Charles Atlas
1975-76, 15:38 min, color, sound
Blue Studio: Five Segments is a groundbreaking work of videodance by postmodern master Merce Cunningham and his then filmmaker-in-residence, Charles Atlas. In a series of short pieces choreographed and performed specifically for video space, Cunningham is multiplied, overlaid and transported from the studio to a series of unexpected landscapes. Cunningham's gestural dance is manipulated to the accompaniment of a disjunctive audio collage that includes the voices of John Cage and Jasper Johns.

1978, 13:05 min, color, sound
In Merce and Marcel, Paik and Shigeko Kubota create a densely textured, transcultural collage that pays tribute to the eponymous artists by addressing the relationship of art and life. Paik and Kubota link art to the movements and gestures of the everyday.
Produced at the seminal video art studio Art/Tapes/22 in Florence, Merlo is an early piece in which Jonas performs alone in several dramatic outdoor locations: a rocky gorge, a wind-tossed river, a balcony looking out over a valley. Cloaked in a dark, hooded robe, Jonas employs a long paper cone as a megaphone, singing melodies and keening, animal-like, into the landscape. The cone figure and the specific melodies that Jonas uses are recurring motifs in her performance vocabulary.
