Media Burn, 1975 23:00, United States, English, B&W and color, 4:3 video Known as the best selling art post card of the late 1970s, Media Burn actually involved more than the impact image. A year in the making, with scores of volunteers, and a poignant performance by the “Artist-President,” Media Burn holds up as a classic of early video art. The Phantom Dream Car was built in Ant Farm’s studio and designed to crash the TV barrier. This dangerous performance is captured by early color half-inch video in documentary style, and “the image created here, shall never be forgotten.”
