VIDEO
IS NOT DEAD
Installation
Dimensions: 2 8" x 12" monitors with Internet and video cables
of various widths and types
on spools arranged in a sculptural manner around the monitors
A site-specific
installation. The monitors have two simultaneous loops (20 seconds each)
with the words
VIDEO IS NOT DEAD animating and a face (mine) attempting to break through
the monitor.
This is when the World Wide Web as we know it first began. These words are
an affirmation that video as
an art form would
survive and continue in digital format and on the internet. At this time,
most
connection speeds were 14.4 k or less. Streaming video at this data rate
was only
possible if the movies were short and 120x160 pixels at very low resolution
with no sound.
VIDEO
IS NOT DEAD is available on DVD and as as stills
