Scope and content
Item is a video work created by Dan Lander in 1983. Video was produced in Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Case includes a one page description of the video by the artist. He described the video as : student work is a quick and somewhat humorous piece dealing with the idea of being a photographer, while trying to lose some of the habits of that profession. A thrumming drone makes up the audio portion of the tape, reminding one of the sound and feeling of a drive over a long stretch of highway.
