Description
"The videotape, according to Slopek, 'reproduces the clinical conditions necessary to test for the ciritcal thresholds at which flashing lights are able to induce epileptic seizures. The artist (an epileptic) is seen being subjected to varying strobe-light frequencies. The resulting document of his reactions is a vivid chronicle of facial contortions, agitations and shudders uncontrollably triggered by light.It is no accident that the flickering light which plays over Slopek's face over the course of the tape resembles light emitted from a TV screen, nor that his facial and bodily reactions would remind us of the semi-comatose state of someone who has watched television for too long" (-Video liner notes)
