I like it. Too bad it wasn't placed on a DVD or a flash drive for playback longevity.

I was referring to the artist's choice of locking the limited print on VHS. I understand that sometimes an artist decides to release on vinyl or floppy or in this case VHS. How viable/playable will the artwork be in for the intended limited viewers over many years? Yes, you can make a pirate copy of it but that doesn't take away the original linear format. Maybe the artist figured it was the medium of the time.  I would have gone in a different direction. Maybe I just see video formats as more disposable than audio formats (VHS vs vinyl).

Anyhow, thanks for sharing the piece.

Auris Apothecary is the fuckin' shit, btw. They release tons of rad stuff on obscure and weird formats. I have a glue record and a microcasette encased in a candle from them (neither of which I have listened to yet...). They're very good about curating acts. Whenever I have to track down some ridiculous playback method to view or listen to something, I'm never disappointed!
