face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> <em>Vital
Signals</em> is a survey of the vibrant, interdisciplinary video art
scene in Japan in the 1960s and '70s. While early video art from the
U.S. and Europe is internationally recognized, the parallel activities
of artists working in Japan—the birthplace of the camcorder and other
technological innovations—are not widely known. The <em>Vital Signals</em>
DVD anthology features video works by fifteen Japanese artists,
including key figures such as Takahiko Iimura, Mako Idemitsu, Toshio
Matsumoto and Kohei Ando.<br>
<br>
The DVD anthology is accompanied by a 100-page bilingual (English and
Japanese) catalogue. Essays by Barbara London, Glenn Phillips, and
Hirofumi Sakamoto draw out the unique art historical and cultural
contexts of early Japanese video art, and its relation to film and
other visual art forms.<br>
<br>
<em>Vital Signals</em> is organized in three parts: The Language
of Technology, Open Television, and Body Acts. In technical
experiments, activist statements, and conceptual performances, Japanese
artists of the 1960s and '70s transformed the intangible—time, gesture,
the electronic signal—into rich art-making material. <em>Vital Signals</em>
illuminates this fertile period of creative engagement and
experimentation in Japan.<br>
<br>
The DVD and catalogue publication are available for purchase by
educational institutions for classroom use for $150. For more
