<http://www.vdb.org/>Surveying the First Decade: Video Art and
Alternative Media in the U.S.
Video Data Bank is pleased to announce the publication of the DVD box
set edition of Surveying the First Decade: Video Art and Alternative
Media in the U.S. Since its original release in 1995, this
comprehensive two-volume, eight program package on the history of
experimental and independent video has only been available on VHS
tape. The DVD launch will bring this essential tool for the
understanding of the development of media arts to a whole new
generation of teachers, libraries, students and researchers.
The entire anthology (Volumes 1 & 2) includes more than 16 hours of
historic video: 68 seminal titles by 60+ artists curated into eight
programs ranging from conceptual, performance-based, feminist, and
image-processed works, to documentary and grassroots community-based
genres. The box set is accompanied by REWIND, a 200+ page study guide
with curator's essay, program and tape descriptions, extended
bibliography, biographies and videographies of artists and a guide to
collections of early video materials.
"The release of this fabulous comprehensive history of independent
video art couldn't be more timely. It is especially critical for
this vital and diverse history to appear now, when there is a whole
new generation of videomakers and viewers."
--Martha Rosler, artist, educator and critic
