[Frameworks] Mekas and video

[Jonathan Walley]

Hi Jared,

I found these:

http://www.vasulka.org/archive/5-9/Timeouts(5151).pdf <http://www.vasulka.org/archive/5-9/Timeouts(5151).pdf>

http://vasulka.org/Catalogues/PDFs/Cat_MachineMedia.pdf <http://vasulka.org/Catalogues/PDFs/Cat_MachineMedia.pdf>

Both PDFs are searchable, and both reference Mekas’s statement, though they do not say where or when he first made it. But at least there’s a source you can cite.

All best,
JW
