Continuum

"Continuum" (1977) Image from documentation of installation for two video players.

Continuum (1977) is the earliest existing video tape that I have made. Produced in collaboration with Gabrielle Bown, it is documentation of a two channel video work, intended to be “performed” using two separate video tape players and video monitors. The two tapes, started roughly in synch with each other were expected to drift out of synchronisation, the two prerecorded sequences progressively diverging, rendering the dialogue increasingly incomprehensible.
