The Process Tapes are video art pieces: lens based, electronic based, video, electronic, analog and digital television. I was pursuing strategies of inventiveness, hijacking television and communication media, responding to Contemporary Art, New American Cinema and New Music jewels. The video synthesis community salvaged and repurposed technologies, supported and built new instruments. We were imagining experimental television, moving image potentials, living in alternative cultures and making alternative art. Look at what has entered the spaces of duration. I think of this work as a rescue action.
