portapak
...thanks to the accessibility of the technique, the very idea of the 
video, being an autonomous form that quickly spreads the message and 
communicates in the way of modern man, was accepted in the broadest 
sense, so one inevitably tends to make a parallel with naive 
[primitive], folk or margin art [outsider art]... namely, documenting 
and recording is not only a thing that artists do: recognized as 
influential and efficient way of communication, video becomes a 
mighty weapon in the hands of the activists, political non 
conformists, disprivileged groups or simply the ones that fight for 
rights of consummers... and this is exactly where the sincere, vital 
strenght of this media lies and therefore proves that successful work 
of art can be rendered somewhere elsewhere of elitistic 
circles...<http://www.videomedeja.org.yu/retrovision.pdf>more [pdf]
