This early tape is a version of Computer Graphics #1, one of Emshwiller's very first video works. Black-and-white drawings by Emshwiller were animated and colorized with the assistance of Walter Wright and Richard Froman at Dolphin Computer Image Corporation. The sound score was made on Moog...
Velez writes: "This and That is a road movie about forgetting — and being forgotten. Shot over a period of six years while traveling through France, Spain, Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, and Puerto Rico, it is a document of failed loves, death and how neither vengeance nor pardon can modify the past."
A documentation of a 1977 performance at Artists Space (NYC), This Is My Blue Period is a surreal monologue featuring four of the artist's poems. At once incantation, song, and internal monologue, here Heyward performs multiple layers of narrative and semantic meaning that suggest the mutability and slippage of language.
In these early film exercises, Acconci exhibits an almost childlike vulnerability that is at once comic and oddly affecting. In Blindfold Catching, a blindfolded Acconci reacts, flinching and lunging, as rubber balls are repeatedly thrown at him from off-screen. In Soap & Eyes, he tries to keep his eyes open after dousing his face with soapsuds, resulting in a tragicomic clown face. In Hand and Mouth, he repeatedly forces his fist into his mouth until he gags.
Three Moons refers to the three seasons—summer, spring, fall—spanned during the project’s creation, and accompanying phases of land-care across this timeframe. The video was shot using a temporospatial camera with no viewfinder, custom-made for LoVid by long time collaborator Douglas Repetto. LoVid’s unpredictable, experimental approach presents frenetic movement collaged from overlaid images of friends and neighbors who are gardeners, environmental activists, and land caretakers, and the ecological surroundings of the artists’ home in Long Island, NY. The footage is set to a free improvised soundtrack by musician Greg Kelley.

In this three-part exercise, Acconci explores the dynamics of the artist's interaction with or manipulation of an other. Each study involves a form of mirroring.
Following up earlier works Eclipse and Baby Birds (2009), Three Waves amplifies and investigates the anatomical production of sound and its mediation through sensory technology — what Yeh describes as “kind of a moving-image riff on concrete poetry.”
Ant Farm's "Time Capsule" project was inaugurated in 1972. The project featured a new-model refrigerator that was packed with foodstuffs and medicines deemed representative of the cultural moment and then sealed for future retrieval. This video documents the project, cutting between 1972 television news coverage of the original event and footage from 2000, in which a re-assembled Ant Farm opens the Time Capsule in a public ceremony at The Art Guys Museum in Houston.
In Tina Turning, performed by the artist, Tina Girouard, her head is center frame while she spins around and around. The film ends when she loses balance and falls out of the frame. According to Serra: “The movement both carries physiognomic properties of the face under stress, and a moderate...
