It's origins in a screening event; Video/Music began in New York, 2002, featuring wantonly wayward collaborations between sound and video artists.ÊIt's success spawned CollectivEye, which itself beget Electric Current, a similarly inspired freewheeling audio-visual collection of works. From Lovid's hertz-bursts of video feedback to the warm brown feeling of Pawel Wojtasik's Dark Sun Squeeze, video never sounded quite so good.
