Information [videorecording] / Bill Viola. [1973]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/570855007

Information is considered to be an early investigation of the material presence of the electronic medium. This video was constructed from a technical mistake in which a videotape recorder tried to record itself. The result was a nonsignal sound that passed through the video switcher that Viola was able to manipulate as if it were a musical instrument.

1 videocassette of 1 (U-matic) (30 min.) : sd., col. ; 3/4 in. original.
