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 appears to be outtakes from the Obelisk piece, contains the following segments: some poor quality images; television feedback; fake Nixon interview; man in lounge chair drinking and watching old movies on television. 538 Betacam SP NTSC. 590 PFA 0503-01-13532. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last checked: 2009/05 /04 serious dropouts and snow. 590 PFA 0503-01-13531. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last checked: 2009/05 /04 serious dropouts and snow. 650 0 Video art. 655 7 Outtakes.|2mim 655 7 Personal/independent works.|2mim 655 7 Television.|2mim 700 1 Sweeney, Skip,|edirection,|eproduction. 710 2 Electric Eye. 710 2 Video Free America. 941 0 PFA 0503-01-13532.
