VIDEO SCRATCHING
'Video scratching' is a video editing technique used within the music industry. It is a variation of the audio editing technique scratching.
It is typically used in either music videos or live performances, with one or more individuals manipulating a video sample to make it follow the rhythm of whatever music is playing. [1]
Nam June Paik was an early pioneer of video art and created pieces like 1964's ''TV Cello'' which combined live performance with video and music. It was a theme they'd return to over the years and ''Good Morning, Mr. Orwell'' recreated ''TV Cello'' as part of a larger, global performance.
The group Emergency Broadcast Network are considered to be pioneers of the technique, popularizing it during the 1980s. The British art collective Gorilla Tapes, comprising of John Dovey, Gavin Morrison and Tim Hodge, developed a body of scratch video art work, also to much critical acclaim, during the early to mid 1980s. Their seminal work Death Valley Days reflects upon the stifling atmosphere of the Cold War years and has been exhibited at a number of prestigious venues including Tate Britain where one of the video's fours sections entitled Commander in Chief was included in the 2003 Tate exhibition A Century of Artists Film in Britain.[2]
U2's Zoo TV Tour in the early 1990s, used a range of multimedia including live mixing of a range of video, both live and pre-recorded.
Currently, Coldcut make heavy use of live video mixing and have even created software, called VJamm, to help with the process. [3]
