Rewind: artists' video in the 70s and 80s

REWIND is a research project that provides a research resource that addresses the gap in historical knowledge of the evolution of electronic media arts in the UK, by investigating specifically the first two decades of artists’ works in video. This website forms a database or Content Management System with detailed information, technical information, ephemera, reviews and critical texts on the artists & works, paper archive, interviews, oral testimony, clips and still images from all the works with searchable index. There was a danger that many of these works might disappear because of their ephemeral nature and poor technical condition. The project conserves and preserve them, and enables further scholarly activity.
