Kanai Katsu DVD

[Mark Nornes]

Perhaps it has something to do with practical issues like this.  
However, ever since the dawn of video art, artists have struggled with  
the problem of reproducibility. If the art object is infinitely?and  
with digital, perfectly?replicable, then it doesn't have a aura that  
the artist can cash in on. One strategy has always been the limited,  
numbered run of video cassettes, imprinted with the artist's  
signature. Where? There.

PS: Surely the precedent for this practice is the book itself?he  
writes, glancing at the cabinet with more than one book he paid a  
premium for thanks to a scribble on the inside.
