Shot on videotape, the analog qualities allow us to get up close to screens, telephone receivers, and optical lenses, with videotape engendering a profound intimacy with the technologies that facilitate communication. T.A.P.E. is delighted to celebrate director Lynn Hershman Leeson’s work as part of the exhibition DEEP FAKE - an expansive showcase of her career at Hoffman Donahue. ‍ What makes Twists in the Cord so compelling today is how Hershman Leeson expresses the contradiction of closeness and alienation inherent to cellular-internet life, at a time when that wasn’t a foreclosed conclusion. Created at the exact moment that the social internet was taking shape through lines of code, the expressive critiques feel electrically close and uncannily speculative. ‍ The film is a rupture of the stability of the documentary form, inviting profound critique and frankly needed life to the often stiff genre. Through the lens of disability, gender, labor, sexuality, and a social-political history of communication, Hershman Leeson leaves the audience with a sweeping story of the telephone as an auditory, visual, and sensory revolution. The film invites us to listen more closely to skewed imaginings of techno-optimism, through the lens of human sensuality, pain, and curiosity. ‍ The film features Michelle Handelman, director of BloodSisters: Leather, Dykes & Sadomasochism (1995). Hershman Leeson brilliantly grounds her work in women actors who approach filmmaking as an exploratory playground, breathing deep life and intellect into the films. It’s a striking performance from Handelman, especially for those familiar with her work. ‍ Our series continues celebrating Lynn Hershman Leeson with her revolutionary feature film Conceiving Ada (1997) at Braindead Studios on March 8 in partnership with DEEP FAKE: Lynn Hershman Leeson.

Rarely screened and absurdly under appreciated, Hershman Leeson never fails to provoke my imagination. I’m endlessly curiously about her playful and trickster approach to consciousness and self, mediated through technologies. And to make it even better I get to to talk to the brilliant @joanneislurking after about Hershman Leeson’s work, lurking, and digital selfhood. Tix at whammyanalog.com

Teaching my fav class again! Saturday 1/24 at 10:30 at whammy! /events/digitization-workshop

Sorry I just love preserving video videotape eats ur stupid film up and spits it out but thank you @fold.world the actual genius

It’s hard to say how much I care about this org and how much time and love I pour into it. We are entirely volunteer run and we do everything through crowdfunding and through small donations. This is our greatest strength and source of our vitality honestly. I legit wake up everyday and feel so lucky to have such a light like TAPE. It’s easily one of the best most magical things to happen to me :) If you want to support our work please know that small donations are our lifeblood. First of all this party that @fold.world has put together is truly incredible. There’s tiers of tickets to attend and dress up and enjoy a night of genius programming at Braindead Studios. Or you can watch our telethon and donate from near or far! Please know that every dollar goes right back into more and digitization equipment so we can do this preservation work for more people with more formats. It’s a remarkable new year coming our way and help make it possible !!!

I think I’m the luckiest girl in the world @tape_losangeles x @heavymannerslibrary x @lamagbarnsdall 🔁🔁direct animation 🔃🔃Phytograms 🔄🔄cassette synth loops

AT 10AM - The photograph of your grandmother that’s at least a century old, yellowing at the edges. An embroidered handkerchief that’s crossed the globe. The family Mahjong rules. We might want to pass certain items down to subsequent generations, but may not know how to keep them in usable condition. And with so much of our lives happening digitally, how can we ensure the tender voicemails, photos and emails kept safe on our phones won’t be lost in the online void? We’ll hear librarians’ and archivists’ best tips for digitizing, storing and preserving letters, photographs and ephemera. And we’ll talk about how to conduct oral histories to pass down the stories — and voices — of those who’ve come before. ❓What’s one family story or object you want to keep? 📸: Gina Castro #kqedforum #oralhistory #familyarchive #familymemories

Video is absurdly important to me. Duh. It is the medium of people. We use it to record these profoundly human and everyday moments in a long form and tender way. So I am teaching this workshop on Monday to distribute this knowledge of digitizing and preserving videotape. My goal is to get everyone who comes feeling more empowered about setting up a station or at the very minimum know what they get with different options!! I’ve included some home videos of me acting like a ham, but with the digitizer view. I cannot express how joyful and empowering is to have done this kind of technical digitization myself. And to spend my days giving people high quality archive standard digitizations of their home videos. I’m always weepy doing this work! If I can give another person one once of that feeling of empowered care - I’m delighted. Look I got this absurdly dumb degree so let me teach you everything I know for cheap so you don’t have to ever give a dime a place that wastes your time and funnels your cash into a war machine <3
