The Video Window of Davidson Gigliotti
Arts Magazine, Dec. 1974, v. 49, no. 4, pp. 74-75
Russel Sullivan discusses the serene work of Davidson Gigliotti, a carpenter and video artist who functions within the group Videofreex (or, Media-Bus). Gigliotti's meditative and sometimes obsessive work (hundreds of drawings in search for a perfect freehand circle) admits a paradoxical, romantic attachment to nature, and the medium of video. Structure of Dry-Fly Fishing is a complex video artwork, a sixteen-channel video landscape, presenting information related to the trout, trout environments, and more. This point of view in to an elegant natural environment is key to observing and discovering nature as well as understanding the presence of the human (or apparent absence of).
