“Locating No. 2 is concerned with the disconnection of perceptual events from their contexts. A 12" tube is held up to the lens of the camera so that only a circular image can be seen of the landscape. Holt discusses with Jerry Clapsaddle what they see on the video monitor as the tube is moved systematically back and forth across the screen. They speculate about what the visual data might represent within the total situation, as each hole of information presents an entire context in itself. Everything must be treated purely as phenomena. Sometimes only qualities such as size, movement and direction can be seen, characteristics that often prove to be secondary when the total landscape is visible. The parts seem to function independently of memory: one doesn't store up information from one hole to inform the next circle. Moreover, viewing material within a circle gives a different reading than in some other configuration or focus. This is particularly true because the tape is of an outdoor space in which scale and perspective are difficult to assess without other points of reference. At the end of the tape, the tube is removed to reveal the entire landscape, permitting the viewer to test the accuracy of the commentary. Locating No. 2 is possible only through video because the immediate feedback allows the soundtrack and the image to exist simultaneously as one responds to the image on the monitor.”
