Photo Installation Rave Video

rave video stills - details / more details

Many of the "rave video still" photos above (discussed here, here, and here), which I made around 2000 with a 35 mm camera and a VCR pause button, came from "X-Mix" series of videotapes (see relevant disclaimers at the third link above). These were never shown, I was mostly just interested in them as "found abstraction"--there's some beautiful stuff on those tapes amid a lot of junk.

Cory Arcangel has made a YouTube sighting of one of the tapes. It is a computer animated version of an intense Plastikman track, from the "X-Mix 3" comp. As Cory says, "in the future when we try to describe the 1990s to people, we just need to show them this..."

Update, May 2008: Of course Arcangel's find has been removed from YouTube "at the request of Viacom."
