"Vital Signals is a survey of the vibrant, interdisciplinary video art scene in Japan in the 1960s and '70s. While early video art from the U.S. and Europe is internationally recognized, the parallel activities of artists working in Japan -- the birthplace of the camcorder and other technological innovations -- are not widely known. The Vital Signals DVD anthology features video works by fifteen Japanese artists, including key figures such as Takahiko Iimura, Mako Idemitsu, Toshio Matsumoto and Kohei Ando."--EAI information sheet
