520 "The physical form of the piece was in the shape of an
obelisk. We had a rolling cart that had three shelves. On
the bottom were two rows of two 8-inch monitors. The next
shelf had a 21-inch monitor. On top of that was an 18-inch
monitor, and on tope of that was an 11-inch monitor. The
obelisk played two channels of video... So it was, at
least in San Francisco and probably even in California,
the first multimonitor, multitrack, videotape performance
work." Skip Sweeney interview, California video: artists
and histories. This tape, which was part of the obelisk
piece, is an interview with Philo T. Farnsworth's son,
Philo T. Farnsworth, III who discusses his invention of
the Yantra house.
