*¡O No Coronado!* is mentioned in Unthinking *Eurocentrism: Multiculturalism and the Media*, by Ella Shoat and Robert Stam. Ten years ago I was watching a lot of this kind of thing, what you could look to Defibrillator in Chicago for in terms of live performance.
But I wanted to post some highlights of the discussion list: I remember some years ago Tony Conrad responding to a delimiting post with "All art is crap!," the challenge being to see value in what you do, you being responsible for that. In that particular incident, he went on to say "You can't!" to someone likely to be experimental-intolerant. But many years ago Nick Zedd actually posted here. I remember it coming in series, completely sporadic, uncontainable, a dozen postings all unanswered, all from Zedd. It was crazy, it was great, at least if you weren't trying to run an academic program. More recently I have noticed Zedd appears in the publication Wilhelm Hein puts out on his activities in Berlin. Caroline Koebel brought Baldwin as well as Stelarc and Schneeman to Buffalo around 2000. She was unstoppable, the primary inspiration for moving image art as I understood it. Baldwin screened *Spectres of the Spectrum* at Hallwalls then, appearing in person. That was how I became familiar with his work. When I read of the Coronado film I had just parted with Beatriz Flores Gutiérrez, who studied at Buffalo around the same time. Anyway, I visited Artist's Television Access in San Francisco myself in 2010. I had submitted a film in application to the live performance art event, *Pow!Pow!Pow!*, which was being held next door. (My apologies for all the red paint, Viracocha). That event opened with the arrival of a large, shiny sedan. It was early evening and Guillermo Gomez Peña appeared with Roberto Sifuentes, who opened the trunk and dragged a beautiful young woman out - white as Anglo-Saxon can be, passive and limp - wearing a huge white wedding. He dragged her slowly into the space and down the stairs. it's interesting that California should have so much in common with European practices, there being such dramatic differences as well. Bernie
