Outside event: WILL VHS SAVE TE GALAXY? @ WORM: 19:30-23.00

In the last couple of years the before redundant video medium called VHS has started to reinvent itself within both ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture. Artworks, music videos and nostalgic pulp-evenings revolving around plastic tapes are increasingly entering the public sphere. Video tapes that used to be at the bottom of the economic ladder are slowly turning into collector’s items, selling for thousands of dollars. Now, with the concept of de-activism in full swing, WORM invites you to a discussion about this development with knowledgeable speakers from different fields talking about their like and dislike of the medium and it’s recent resurgence. Expect videos, performances, games and music, but above all the answer to one question: Can VHS save the world?
