1980s video art

I stumbled upon these video collage pieces on YouTube and they have a lot of the stuff I love, mainly, TV material processed into visual essays. I couldn’t figure out who posted it, though ...

New video: Video Graffiti: Lobo-Motivas

56"|2007

Using footage sampled from the opening sequence of a 1977 Brazilian soap opera, Video Graffiti is a symbolic gesture of cultural re-appropriation. The video consists of the author 'graffiting' his name on top of the credits that appear in the sequence as an act of 'vandalism' against Brazil's controlling Globo Network and the powerful cultural colonization imposed by the organisation on the making of the country's collective memory.
