This video features two MiniDV tapes recorded with a 2002 Canon ZR45 camcorder. I performed all the editing in-camera during the course of my daily life using a method I call "Swiss-Cheesing"—randomly scanning back and forth on a tape, dropping new video through old footage. As far as I know there is no contemporary camera that allows this kind of digital chance-based editing. This is a video diary with a catch: recording a new entry destroys a segment of equal length. Juxtapositions between the two tapes occur by chance.
