Beatles Electroniques, 1966-69
Single-channel video with sound
3 mins.
Courtetsy Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI), New York

In this seminal video, both the black and white video footage (primarily of a Beatles concert from the 60s) and its accompanying soundtrack are electromagnetically distorted and/or altered by the artists to create an audiovisual collage that plays with the expectations of our visual and auditory senses.
