SVES Events 1990s

In the 1990s, SVES did minimal photo documentation but artists did get their hands on desktop publishing tools and printers improved, leading to an increase in promotional documents like postcards, handbills, and newsletters. In many cases these are the only evidence of events that we have. In addition to volunteer labour, SVES also paid to have materials distributed around the city. Video 8 and Hi-8 became the main formats for the documentation of our events, including screenings. SVES’ 20th anniversary in 1993 appears to have inspired a stronger interest in A/V documentation of public programming for our archives. It’s obvious from the footage that there were ongoing problems with light levels (Video In’s warehouse spaces being chronically underlit at events). The quality of audio varied as well. If there were mics on a panel table they were often shared which made it possible for those who preferred to not use them, to not. Hosts and artists stood during introductions to programs and rarely with a mic in hand. Despite the casual nature of the documentation, these videos prove useful documents of the ideas circulating at Video In Studios.
