Time Mutations/Organization/Artworks

Recording is the technical operation to linearize the elasticity of time. Once banned on a medium the past can be accessed, processed and played back. The medium, especially the digital one, allows for instant categorization, storage, and retrieval. When analog video became available to artists in the 70ies they proptly discovered that the recorded footage can be much more than documentation; it is a new medium itself. With digital video and it becomes a source for real-time artworks.
