Videograms

About This Movie

Videograms is a fascinating exploration of visual language and sound. This piece, running just over 13 minutes, captures the experimental spirit of early 80s video art, using the Rutt/Etra Scan Processor to create a series of abstract text/image combinations. The interplay between Hill’s spoken word and the images on screen evokes a unique atmosphere—sometimes disorienting, yet oddly mesmerizing. It's not just a visual spectacle; it invites you to think about the relationship between text and image in a way that feels very much alive and challenging. The black and white aesthetic adds to its stark, almost haunting vibe.

Videograms holds a niche place in the history of experimental video art, with its unique use of the Rutt/Etra Scan Processor setting it apart from other works of its time. While not as widely known, its scarcity makes it an intriguing find for collectors interested in early video experimentation. The limited formats available add to its collectible allure, attracting those fascinated by the evolution of media and technology in art.
