1. The Moving Line
Video from Mary Pearson of High Places. I came across this via the High Places blog this morning. Looks like footage from the California/Oregon border but I can’t be sure.

2. Severed Heads Live at Metro TV July 1982
This is part of a live set we did at Metro TV, a community video center, in mid 1982. We did this to demonstrate a new video synthesizer developed by Stephen Jones, who at that stage was not involved with the band. Our analogue synthesizers were supposed to interact with his analogue video device using control voltages, and to a certain extent it worked but we all decided to do a reworking at the beginning of 1983.

4. Lydia Moyer- Mountain Loop (remix) at East Village Radio July 2008
For the month of July, I screened Mountain Loop (remix) by video artist Lydia Moyer at East Village Radio. See below for documentation. Mountain Loop (remix) is a response to the prevalence of strip mining in the Appalachian region of Virginia, an environmentally damaging practice in which mountains are leveled in order to access and remove resources. In the video, spectral blue lights overlay flickering silhouettes of mountains and surrounding clouds, suggesting their imminent destruction.

6. Videos by Julia Hechtman
i heart photograph posted photographs from artist Julia Hechtman a few weeks back. After reading about Hechtman, I checked out her site and discovered her video work. The pieces below, Before the Fall and the Vanishing, both use basic video techniques to suggest a human desire to command natural forces.

10. Official Tourist
My friend Jon sent these videos over yesterday. Official Tourist is a side project of artist Kamau Amu Patton, whose work I’ve been hunting for online ever since I read about his show at Machine Project last year. (They’re actually still hosting one of his videos, which you can view here. ) Patton does the video work and designs the costumes for Official Tourist. I’m amped to see his creations, but I’m still waiting for the day when more of his cult-inspired low budget infomercials go online. Official Tourist also produce a line of hoodies.

15. Candice Breitz- Babel Series (1999)
I came across this project yesterday, and it’s quite incisive and brilliant. I wish I lived in New York when it screened here in 2000 at the New Museum. See below for the full text explaining the piece and stills.
