I correct myself: the student hits record when he means to stop recording, he
hits stop when he thinks he's recording.
There was no video. It was an example Pip gave for some thread a couple years
ago.
The obsession would appear when the mistake is adopted as that which is of
primary interest to the artist. In this case (and it's not like any of this is
settled, in my mind, as I write), the error records only the set-up, the
intention to record stops the capture. A scene then evolves that is strictly
live, for camera, for recording but without recording. After several shoots
the footage is reviewed, and . . tadaaa! . . it is found to be exceptional!

Ahh interesting. That example clarifies a little for me. I see how it applies
to your criteria: "given a certain context of achievement, would indeed appear
to be a failure, but in which . . tadaaa! . . the artist has moved beyond"
but not how it constitutes "a strange space occupied by a particular obsession"
but i also see how that's just an example, and an astute one on Pip's part!
can you relink the video?

Thanks. Pip once replied to a post with an example. A student using a
camcorder hits play when he intends to stop and stop when he intends to play.
Imagine that going on for some time. The result would be an example of what I
have in mind - impossible to take much credit for! And yet . . it could be
done "on purpose," too.
