I like to show Brian Springer’s 1995 video, Spin to my students at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, especially when Presidential election time rolls around. This video is housed in the collection of the Video Data Bank at SAIC, one of the foremost collections of video by artists in the United States. Last month I surprised to discover that Spin can now be seen online on Google Video.

The Chicago Phonography broadcast on Philip von Zweck’s Something Else radio program, performed live on August 3rd, 2008, has just been posted in it’s entirety on archive.org:
