Description:
This selective survey of recent video and computer art produced in Britain complements the launch of This Side of the Channel, this selective survey of recent British video and computer art. Entertaining, provocative, funny, eclectic, even apocalyptic, these tapes - from George Snow's exhilarating road video Motorway to The Dreaming. Herlinde Smet's conceptual piece exploring movement, light and space evocative of Aboriginal mapping -demonstrate the diversity and ambition of video artists currently working in Britain.
