cyborganize's notes, from the h1v3m1nd cross-post: We unearthed this short-lived Kroft children's show through a chain of internets involving metatxt and soap opera proto-fandom. What I find most fascinating is its presentation of video itself as a superpower through a reliance on cheesy analog effects. Electra Woman & Dyna Girl, inept though they may be, trust in the magic of television to save the earth from techno-evil! I ended up using the show (along with The X-Files and Max Headroom) in a screening for my Intro to TV course, paired with 1970s video art. I couldn't resist mashing up beccatoria's crackvid with some of that footage (Nam June Paik's "Global Groove" and selections from a PBS documentary "Video: The New Wave") to highlight this dialogue between the mass media and the art world. Of course, it's digital technology that enables such manipulation -- for the coda, I distorted the image by databending to suggest a trajectory from those early experiments to our present-day mediascape. But beccatoria would want me to add that you REALLY SHOULDN'T TAKE THIS TOO SERIOUSLY.
