In 1980, the Go Nightclubbing Archive filmmakers Emily Armstrong and Pat Ivers created the Danceteria Video Lounge, an installation at the famed New York nightclub that incorporated an eclectic mix of found footage, video art, early music videos, vintage commercials, movie trailers, and musical performances. For this program, the filmmakers have selected clips of video art by downtown artists such as Keith Haring and Robin Schanzenbach, along with found footage that deconstructs accepted media iconography.
