Moving Image Arts Resources
|
This page is concerned with a series of Programmes Commissioned by Channel 4 from Triple Vision on the subject of the second wave of video artists who happened to be in the UK (the first wave included Paik and John Hopkins a British Instigator of the 60's who was more interested in anarchic and cybernetic behaviour than Paik) - but this second wave in the UK at least, are now largely forgotten, but without them, the YBA Video Makers, including Gillian Wearing - and all the succeeding Jarman award winners would not have some shoulder to stand upon.
The important and differentiating factor between this series (which ranged from 1986 to 1989) and our sister Channel 4 company that produced their context free Ghosts in the Machine - as that were were very interested in exploring the histories, theories, technologies, cultures and politics of moving image production, interaction and reception. First up: 5 TV programmes created by Triple Vision, directed by myself Terry Flaxton and produced by Penny Dedman - on the subject of Video Art from 1985/1989. Followed by a programme Terry directed for Granada TV with John Wyver. |

To the Right: In 1989 I received for Channel 4 called The Inevitability of Colour which screened on Channel 4, premiered at the Tate and then as a three part work in the 1992 Bonne Biennale called The Colour Trilogy. I wrote to the Independent department at Channel 4 after John had made the programme which opened La Sept called: L'Objet d'art dans L'age Electronique (after Benjamin) to argue Baurdillard's and Virillio's point concerning meaning. So the Colour Trilogy then turned into the 7 part Myths which then turned into Myth and Meaning in the Digital Age.
