Scratch Video a mutant hybrid of scratch DJ music and guerrilla TV

scratchvideo/evolution

The evolution of scratch video is driven by people transforming consumer electronics into creative tools to accomplish their goals. The medium is influenced by personalities ranging from Grandmaster Flash to Nan June Paik, who all had at least one thing in common: they pushed the limits, coming up with new applications for technology. This sort of thinking is behind the history of hip hop, electronic music, video and the personal computer. One disclaimer: although the term "average consumer" is used, they do not exist --some had the money to afford this technology, and some did not. Finding lower priced consumer products in second hand stores also plays an important role.
