Barber’s Video High (1994) are a series of videos, each compiling different visual sequences to different ambient and house tracks. All the imagery is in the ‘virtual reality’ style of artificial graphics that became common in the early 1990s. It became common for imagining alternative fantasy worlds and new digital realms, including in music videos for electronic dance tracks. With titles like “Planet Stoned” and “Bridget Riley In the Sky with Diabetes”, the different segments of Video High are alternative landscapes for both virtual and mental exploration.
