Video Data Bank - Surveying The First Decade

Surveying The First Decade

Surveying the First Decade: Video Art and Alternative Media in the U.S. is a 17-hour compilation of experimental and independent video created from 1968-1980, the first decade of video art production. Originally released on VHS in 1995, the collection was scheduled to be rereleased on DVD on September 1 2008. The anthology includes 68 titles by more than 60 artists and is curated into eight programs ranging from conceptual, performance-based, feminist, and image-processed works, to documentary and grassroots activism.

Chris Hill, former video curator at Hallwells Contemporary Art Center in Buffalo, New York, curated the project.
