‘Television Fan’ by Thomson & Craighead .
The fan blows onto VHS rustling leaves and every minute or so, a rhythmic cycle of flash frame images appear, taken from an old catalogue selling film washers. The fleeting glimpses of a woman presenting a wardrobe’s worth of machinery are reminiscent of a spangled magician’s assistant.

‘Los Angeles’ (2004) by Sarah Morris .
Cory Arcangel , excerpt from ‘Colors’ (2006)
The departure point for this work is a 1988 film by Dennis Hopper called Colors about violence between Los Angeles street gangs. Arcangel developed a computer program to scramble Hopper’s cinematic images, transforming them into a dynamic abstraction.
On view at Tate Modern until the 14th of October.
