Got it on Tape

Got it on Tape focuses on lens-based video works as technology continues to evolve, innovate, and innovate again. This exhibition invites artists from across the globe to present work first recorded over 20 years ago in an attempt to preserve the translation of ideas into emerging forms in ways that parallel new technology. Each artist highlights their past work by translating it into the present through re-recording, projection, spoken word, performance, and physical or virtual screenings. 

The curated show of video art advises viewers to exercise caution before all of the first-wave video art caught on tape goes the way of the dodo. For every one Pipilotti Rist or Bill Viola, there were a thousand explorative art school kids who made their creativity explode on tape. Invited artists collaborate on installation style to exhibit the video works in their analog, original format alongside modernized digital format.
