INTERVIEW: HANK BULL HB: There's been a lot of talk about new narrative, everywhere, not just in Canada, but everywhere. You can trace it back to the mainstream of modem literature, to writers like Robbegrillet. You look closely at a sentence or a video, and you realize that whole idea of Hank Bull along with Vera Body edited INFERMENTAL VI, a worldwide video extrava­ movement through time is pretty precarious, you change one word and the whole thing falls ganza. INFERMENTAL is the.first international videocassette magazine. It was conceived apart. The same thing with a film, its pretty specific. But at the same time, I've found looking in 1980 by Gabor and Vera Body as an encyclopedia for new visual art. It appears roughly at the tapes for INFERMENTAL, I mean we'd be there twelve hours a day watching video once a year, and is edited by a new group in a new city with each edition. New editors are tapes, I found that we could agree about the affinities between different tapes. We'd say right, assisted by at least one previous editor thus allowing the magazine to develop new contacts this tape goes with this one, doesn't it? And we'd say, yes, but if you were asked to say why, without losing touch with its original roots. INFERMENTAL is currently travelling to major it would then become very, very difficult. Or, the same thing when you 're in the middle of centres across the world. The show was supervised by Gerard Couty (FRIGO) and features editing a tape, you could see that this shot goes with that shot, not always because of the 59 contributions from 25 countries. It includes a total of roughly six hours of video movement, or anything like that, but because of something else, that I think doesn't have an productions. Along with Antoni Muntades, Bull also co-edited a special edition of Cross­ equivalent in alphabetic linguistic terms. In a sense, the alphabet and digital technology are Cultural Television whichforms an adjunct to the INFERMENTAL VI showings. Hank Bull two incompatible mechanisms. Yet, I think that video artists are a lot more like writers than isawriter,artist,andvideoartist.HeisanactivememberofVancouver's WESTERN FRONT they are like painters, and the tendency has always been to associate video artists with the which produced the INFERMENTAL VI show. He spoke to Rampike editor Karl Jirgens visual artists. But actually, they're more like writers. Making a video-tapeisalotlike writing. following a Video Screening at Toronto's A SPACE. The interesting thing now is that we 're just at the beginning of being able to write a grammar or a syntax for video. In fact, maybe even those words are inaccurate, maybe grammar and syntax go exclusively with the alphabet, and there's something else analogous to that in video. KJ: You mean things like juxtaposition for instance? HB: This is what we were getting at in the section of the show called "Fractal Grammar".
