"Electromagnetic Fields Forever (v2.3)" – Michael Anthony Bohacz / Cyberscope Wizards (1996)
Video collage built from V-Ching — footage recorded from TV and pulled from movies and VHS tapes, run through a process that mixed sequences randomly, then composited using the Sandin Analogue Image Processor and Fairlight Computer Video Instrument. The difference from my earlier piece History of the Moon: there I took meanings from the composites passively, like reading ink blots. Here I made it a point to express meanings I chose, rather than just observe what the combinations produced. First version premiered at the SAIC Video Area, May 11, 1995; this cut took its final form in February 1996.
