Hymn Videozine is an international VHS micro-distribution project founded in 2003 in Vancouver by former Emily Carr students Stephen Wichuk and Rickie Lea Owens, who have released six VHS videozines to date. The films and videos selected for Magnetic Spasms represent a regional aesthetic that was developing in the Vancouver film and video scene at the turn of the millennium. At the time, most of the videozine artists were Emily Carr students and a few were members of The Lions Collaborative Drawing Group – an influential group of Vancouver artists that work collaboratively on drawings and paintings. The programme will be presented in the spirit of the videozine: on a slightly degraded VHS tape with various Hymn handmade “spots” interjected throughout.
