"Understanding
Media, 30 Years of Recursive Video" is a retrospective of video pieces
made since 1974 by Dick Ford.
The theme of 'recursion' or 'self-reference' is woven throughout all
the pieces which are tied together by recursive
subtitled commentary which add clarity, confusion, and humor to the
mix. The first segment is from a 1974 sociology project
about Marshall McLuhan where McLuhan's concepts about media are
illustrated using primitive black and white video.
Next is a colorful abstract video art and a self-referential
self-interview by and with the filmmaker from a 1984
one man museum video show. Film reviewer Anita Modak-Truran of the
Jackson, MS, Clarion Ledger, selected
this video as one of her favorites in the Crossroads Film Festival,
calling it, "an explosion of innovative experimentation."
