Martin Arnold—Alone: Life Wastes Andy Hardy (1998)

What are some of the effects of this scrubbing process on the meaning of the original film?

Does the scrubbing create narratives that weren’t previously in the film?

Hermine Freed—Art Herstory (1974) (excerpt)

This is a different type of time manipulation than the other works we’ve seen. How is the “present time” of video disrupted here? What kinds of time are occurring here?

Bill Viola—Ancient of Days (1979)
