    EZTV Avant Video: Works by Video Innovators

    Date: Mar 31, 2025 7:30PM
    Location: 2220 Arts + Archives

    When the EZTV Video Gallery first opened in the summer of 1983, founder John Dorr envisioned the space as presenting “an alternative vision of contemporary culture and reality, a vision in no way controlled by the mass media, lowest-common-denominator ethic.” This was done through EZTV’s wildly varied programming, which featured everything from more traditional narrative video to live performance and cutting-edge video and computer art—and often works that incorporated multiple elements from all of the above. For this program, we’ll present three mid-length works that were originally packaged together in August 1985 as Avant Video: New Works by Video Innovators, along with a handful of shorter pieces spanning the breadth of EZTV’s history.
