MMI (Seven Variations), 2:39 min, sound, color, MiniDV. 2001/21​

In 2001 I used a MiniDV camcorder to record my first digital videos, creating accidental juxtapositions without knowing where I was on the tape when I pressed record. In 2021 I started remixing my old footage to imitate this process. These clips combine shots from a MiniDV [MiniD(ziga)V(ertov)] tape from 2001. Thirteen years later I used Vine for this kind of thing.​ Because of its hybrid quality—digital video stored on tape in a linear sequence—DV camcorders enable a chance-based editing process I call "Swiss-Cheesing"— scanning back and forth on the tape at random to record new video "holes" through old footage.
