Vostell reverts to the effect of early TV transmission test pictures from the 30's where electronic synchronisation was a major task. Later, technological progress presented the brains smoother imagery which made it easier to find sense/interpretation'. This video shows imagery with large holes in-between, the brain has to work harder allowing it more space for all sorts of interpretations which would usually work against the interest of the manipulators >TV stations and groups behind.

Is this a translation machine?

Wolf's long dead & got other fish to fry. Vid Art was a new media in the 60's and +-provocative to the eyes/minds back then. Today, the synapses are conditioned according to now. Certain Art Statements (of the 60's) are to be quite likely irrelevant today. Did their job back then and to be switched off afterwards (except for the museums). Expectations that things have to last forever are illusionary, look at good food! Wolf obviously lived for the Now, a modest & sympathetic gesture.

I agree with you. Wolf´s research about the "new media" of his time was so important to nowadays art movements that it is simply impossible to think about it without considering the movement ot video and computer art. He was a brilliant artist. Pity not everybody understand his meaning. But I was glad to hear that you do.

why cannot this work be re-entered at anytime.. my synapses still snap to Rembrandt etc and are not set to any o'clock

Of course, can be re-entered anytime - agree. To add >the resulting impact of an art statement is first related to the Zeitgeist at which point it was created. It may then be perceived:In phase (time-wise), out of phase (as with many old Masters) or in-phase again later resonance-wise. Some things come back again & again, may even take on a new meaning etc...

I do love fluxus, but I think I prefer the Dada manifesto ;D
