#67 was conceived as a tribute to ‘Reminiscence’ and ‘Telc’, two videoworks made by Steina and Woody Vasulka in 1974. In these works, a fragment of unedited video footage was transformed into fascinating, abstract scenery using a Rutt-Etra scan processor. One of the things that remain from the original video footage is the impression of an observer navigating through spaces, and a strong sense of what in perception psychology has been called ‘re-afference’, a term that refers to the perceptual changes we cause when we move our sensory organs. In this reading, these works were important references for my earlier experiments around sensory augmentation and my attempts to make environmental phenomena that can not normally be perceived by humans visible or tangible.
