Woody: “The second influence was of course technology. But I had started with light. I still felt that light and shadow were the agenda, the typical filmic agenda … So I started to work with stroboscopic lights as discrete events. I understood there was something in discreteness of the frame, a flash, a quantum. Then I encountered video, and understood that with video there was a different principle that would negate film, or extend film, or re-structure film. I gave up film overnight. I went into working with video, which was completely undefined, completely free territory, no competition intellectually – on the contrary, it was rejected right from the beginning by the theorists and philosophers of film. So it was a very free medium. And the community was very young, naive, fresh, new, strong, cooperative, no animosities, generous, kind of a welcoming tribe. So we ganged together east coast, west coast, Canadian east and west coasts, and we created overnight a spiritual community.
