TAPECODE 334.00
"A classic exposition of and intervention within, the structural interrelationship of camera, monitor, deck and tape. The camera frames both the performer and its own recording mechanism; Waterman creates static electricity by shuffling his feet on a carpet; he then reaches over and touches the tape just after it passes the recording head, repeating the action until the tape runs out; on replay, the portions of tape demagnetized by his touch are viewed as a band of screen interference before he has begun the action". -Renee Baert
