    Meditative and theoretical prose on video as a medium, arguing that video fabricates light and sound, creates retrievable representational domains, and neutralizes traditional notions of truth, memory and history; it treats buffering, inscription, and virtual realities alongside political and libidinal economies. The text examines the body and fetishization in relation to television and screening, includes a short Epitaph poem, and contains sections titled Video ii, Videola and Video; it also references over four hours of videowork produced in weeks of autumn and discusses tape as an inert/active material.
