<div><font class="x_Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica">The Centre for Art Tapes is very pleased to launch a new critical text on video, the medium and art form, by Tom Sherman.<span> </span></font><font class="x_Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><i>Video is
a Perceptual Prosthetic </i>lays out a scientific sense of video as it relates to human perception, exploring a medium that has the ability to literally provide us with a replay of our experiences as we are living them. The artist begins with an analysis of
perception and its historical relevance to the evolution of video technology from analogue tape to HDV through to cybernetic technology. Sherman also analyzes the impact of video technology on other media technologies, in particular tracing the devolution
of television, a topic explored throughout his writing over the years.</font></div>
