Preserving collections of analogue video art is no easy task. Not only must collection caretakers ensure that their magnetic tapes are appropriately catalogued and stored, they must also properly inspect the content of the analogue videotapes in order to make an informed assessment of their condition. This is the only way to prevent unintended image errors - caused by a damaged videotape or video player, or by simple operator error - from being irreversibly merged with the artist's original image content during the digitisation process and thereby permanently compromising the artwork.This publication aims to provide caretakers of our audiovisual artistic and cultural heritage with a general guide to identifying, viewing, cataloguing and assessing the condition of analogue videotapes. The symptoms and causes of 28 common image errors are described in detail, and further illustrated by video sequences on an accompanying DVD. A technical chapter explains the basic principles of video technology, while an art history chapter discusses the deliberate use of image errors as creative tools in analogue video art.Text in English and German.…

Compendium of Image Errors in Analogue Video sets out to provide guidelines for the condition assessment and preservation of analogue video. Along with an included DVD, the book illustrates in stills and moving images the twenty-eight most common image errors found on videotapes. But the authors have provided more than just an outline of the problems facing video conservators. They also give background information on the historical and technical aspects of analogue video recording, including a chapter on how artists have purposefully experimented with image distortion and manipulation in their own work. An additional glossary fully explains the technical terms used in the book.
