O/II/II/II... (RECORD/PAUSE/PAUSE/PAUSE...)

A recording of the record button so to speak... well, mostly the pause button which starts and stops the tape. There are many ways of pushing this button.
I wanted this to feel like an early-80s video art piece, so I used VHS, and the dreadful Sharp QC-54 as my camera. Look it up. You’ll laugh. I chose an old Zenith 24-2892 remote control for its beautiful blandness.
Since the camera has autoexposure (with no way of turning it off), the picture goes rather dark when the metal part of the remote reflects too much light into the lens.

My grandparents had a remote like this. Their remote doesn't do all the fancy stuff yours does, but it was always wrapped up in plastic wrap so it wouldn't get dirty.

[@japhyriddle]

A remote kept in plastic wrap? Ha ha ha.

Nobody really thinks about withered technology quite like Japhy Riddle :)
