Video Wonderlands Created For Museums and Galleries
New York Times, Mar. 6, 1987, pp. 19, 26
William Zimmer reviews "video wonderlands" created by New York artists around the city, speculating about the "wasteland" of television and the ways video art continues to change what we think about many forms of media. He explains that the resurgent interest in video art "...doesn't mean that video artists are deliberately trying to be entertaining; it's that now everyone feels freed from the constraints of commercial television."
