Selected Videos by Mike Hack

Dir. Mike Hack (compiled by haul gallery) 2022

USA 10 min

Mike Hack makes videos – he's been making them for a long time. Over the years, they’ve seen shifts in technology, changes in culture, and different phases of Mike himself.

Mike is a man with autism. This influences the way that he lives, talks, behaves, thinks, and feels. It can be difficult for people without autism (neurotypicals) to understand Mike’s experience, however, through his videos, he provides an insightful visual memoir. haul gallery has worked with Mike to archive and present his videos for a wider audience.

MMXXI (2 Tapes)

Dir. Zoe Chronis 2021

USA 60 min

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.
