1980s scratch video artwork showing a wiry reporter in an alleyway, distorted by neon video synthesizer colors and VHS tracking static.

An anxious broadcast newsman adjusts his clip-on lapel microphone in a damp brick alleyway, his image fractured by aggressive analog video manipulation. Saturated magenta and cyan color-keying, horizontal VHS tracking snow, and jagged scanlines capture the subversive energy of 1980s scratch video art.
