...work with Woody Allen, George signed up for Small Time Crooks, where he was in exactly one scene. (Even there he was hard to spot: viewers got a good look at his left ear but not much else.) I'd love to direct you to the DVD or VHS of The Adams Chronicles, but that doesn't exist. Nor were his performances in all those Albee productions, or his 1963 Hamlet for Tyrone Guthrie, recorded for posterity. As the 19th-century tragedian Edwin Booth said, stage acting was "sculpting in snow." The imposing snowmen George built may be found only...
It’s a bit sad to see the radio go—countless memorable historical moments were conveyed via the little box with the silver antenna—and it will surely have a place with other nostalgic mediums of yesteryear, alongside the VHS, cassette tape, and the also-dying low-definition television...
...Architecture, who spearheaded the effort to bring the exhibit to Harvard. “Artists liked it in the ’70s because they weren’t considered precious objects.”The project contains approximately 700 works of video art, all on VHS tapes and cataloged by title and artist name, available for free to watch in the gallery or to check out and watch at home.Longtime collaborators Julieta Aranda and Anton Vidokle first put together the video rental project in 2004, as an artistic experiment in circulation models.Vidokle owns the E-flux Corporation, an online...

In the last 10 years, physical bookstores have been increasingly abandoned for sites like Amazon.com that offer books at cheaper prices. But Amazon is not without its drawbacks: when consumers purchase books online, browsing...
Video rsums have long tickled imaginations in Hollywood (can a blond legally apply to Harvard via VHS?) without making much of a dent in the real world. Enter Aleksey Vayner. The Yale student submitted his video rsum, titled Impossible Is Nothing, to investment bank UBS last fall. It became a YouTube classic, while its karate-chopping, tennis-acing, deep-thought-having star became the joke of Wall Street. But another funny thing happened: Vayner's vanity creation awakened recruiters and job seekers to the possibilities of marrying the video CV to the Internet--and that may just...
