Ira Schneider
The video pioneer is a founding member of the Raindance Foundation and co-editor of the magazine Radical Software. His documentary-based videos use the uneven handheld camera as an element of “directness.” A Weekend at the Beach, for example, shows a meeting with Jean-Luc Godard, Wim Wenders, Heiner Müller, among others, as a “video-ethnological” reflection of historical events. Schneider recorded the first video art exhibitions and music events such as the Woodstock Festival (1969) on video. When his years of television experience reached fifty in 1999, he married his own television in the self-ironic video Schneider heiratet seine SONYa.
