Gilbert Sinnott – 64μs – Germany

64μs (siemens) is the time taken to draw one scanline in a 50hz analogue PAL video signal. In this work, a pre-digital videoart technique of video feedback is used. Color keying and frame synchronization modifications made to an analogue video mixer allow tendrils of phosphor light to be trapped, and held in an invisible embrace.
