Mixed and performed live at the Experimental Television Center in 1992 with a special appearance by Vanna White. Audio by Dub Syndicate "Tunes From the Missing Channel."
Six screen video installationFeaturing Jack Charney as the nude. All made with analog tools. Shot and mixed during the six months I lived and worked at the Vasulkas home/studio in Santa Fe. Two ¾” tapes of the nude were mixed through a key/stencil of third video (originally shot on 8mm film in Sienna Italy) to make one version of the combined images Video1+ Video2+stencil=A then this process was repeated Video1+Video2+stencil=B, then the combined images were mixed together again through the same stencil A+B+stencil=Mix1.
This whole process was repeated twice and then those two were also combined. Then later some of those mixes were transferred to Betacam and slowed down. The final tape contains excerpts from a variety of the previous combinations with 2, 4 and 8 layers.

A mostly formal exercise in composition and image processing, using footage of water. Probably the first in a ongoing series of works dealing with landscape, investigating the idea of video as a contemplative viewing experience akin to painting. Filmed in California and Mexico, and developed over the course of two visits to Experimental Television Center. Final editing at PPG onto 1” open reel tape.

Compilation of various short treatments of material featuring dancers and set to music. Primarily choreography by Brooke Kidd, Washington DC, Yee Jen Bao, Norman, OK and Judith Mikita, Cincinnati OH, all processed at the Experimental Television Center.
A meditation/celebration of the Spaghetti Western and the pornography of violence. An homage to Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone. Copies of scenes from the original films, rented on VHS, were edited into a compilation reel. That material was processed at ETC, where Scott Davenport also added the text layer. Several versions of that were edited at PPG in an additive process, A+B=1 C+D=2, then 1+2= X, to create a ‘’final” hour-long version. The shorter “ sit down version was then created from that material.
