Tess Takahashi looks at the development of experimental screening processes in the 1960s and 70s. Artists became interested in the materiality of the screen and used it as an important part of their films. Also discussed is the rise of alternative screening events, in particular the home, which became an important space of interaction. Through an analysis of a few films from this period, she explains the change in the concept of the screen and what it leaves us with today.
