Videotage

November 23–26, 1972. The video days, jointly realized with the Darmstadt group Telewissen, mark the start of an intensive curatorial engagement with moving-image media. With the programmatic call to “Make your own televisions,” the new electronic medium is tested out together with the general public of Aachen and, in special workshops, children explore its possibilities in self-made productions. The video days mark the beginning of an ongoing engagement with the artistic medium of video and lead to the development of the video library.
