It’s a tribute to 80’s scratch video and video art pioneers such as George Snow, Gorilla Tapes, Invisible Television and the like, and my old Milk Lab art degree work, so delved into my VHS archive…

Video Podcast #2 -testing testing
Testing my new camera I give a tour of NoNo Towers, as it is known. Interestingly I found a VCR recorder – a good Sony in the street today. If it works, esp. with SVHS (likely with one of these NICAM 4-head jobbies), I’ll be able to digitise my earlier vids. MP4 now available here……
