Record information – Details Fonds/collection:BONDARCHUK, KarenAccession:1991-0219Media:VideoProduction date:1990Production company:Centre for Art TapesProduction credit:director, Karen BondarchukDistributor name:Atlantic Independent MediaDescription:HEARTBLOCK is a self-reflective model of its own making. The technology of the video medium is set in rleaiton to a medical description of the physical condition called "heartblock". As the technological and medical aspects of the work merge, the hermetic nature of the presentation leaves little room for the viewer. The physical reality of the condition called heartblock - the upper atria beating independely of the lower ventricles - is meatphoric of both the viewer's alienation and the inherently unidirectional nature of television.Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
