This video art piece features a VCR, with its top removed, recording a video signal from a camera pointed down at the VCR’s innards. During the recording, the video tape is physically cut by some comically large shears. In doing this, the video tape witnesses and records its own demise.
However, in order to play back the recording, the tape had to be spliced back together, thus bringing the tape back to life.
