Top 5 video visionaries:

1. Dan Sandin – 5 Minute Romp thru the IP (1973)

“An analog, modular, real time, video processing instrument, (the sandin IP) provided video processing performance levels and produced subtle and delicate video effects of a complexity not seen again until well into the digital video revolution.”

2. Nam June Paik – Global Groove (1973)

“This is a glimpse of a video landscape of tomorrow.”

3. Steina Vasulka – Bad (1987)

“Bad is a play on a computer performance. By a simple command: ‘add one’, the machine scrambles for its pictorial and tonal expressions, succeeding at random.”

4. Phil Morton – GM Tape (1976)

“Now this here’s a picture of my truck.”

5. Gary Hill – Mouth Piece (1978)

“A real time simulation of the interaction between two levels of the image and between sound and image.”
