Professor George Barber has a well-established reputation as a video artist. This year the Tate has
archived his work and will keep it in perpetuity in its collection. Similarly, the BFI has stored over 40
or his works in its National Archive. His early work employed ground-breaking techniques,
appropriating broadcast footage and re-arranging it in abstract forms with different specially made
sounds, known as Scratch Video. Many of these original techniques were then co-opted by
Advertising and television. George Barber has also created video elements for stage shows for U2,
The Who, Robert Plant, Swing Out Sister and produced many rave videos for independent record
labels like R&S Records, Belgium and Phonogram, London.
