What looks like the world’s biggest videotape collection, is actually an artistic display presented at this year’s Venice Biennale of Contemporary Art.
Entitled Life Span and displayed in a small church on Garibaldi Street, this giant block full of VHS videotapes is the work of Australian artists Claire Healey and Sean Cordeiro. In numbers 195,774 tapes and features a total recording time of 66 years.
Life Span is a physical representation of what a human being can see from its birth, to the day it dies.

wow that’s a lot of tapes. Pretty cool art. I’m suprised they used some bootleg tapes

I used to have that type of videotape many years ago … still have one in at my house.
