Overview

This videographic essay explores the star wipe – a long-dismissed and oft-ridiculed editing transition – as an emblem of marginal and forgotten media artifacts. By examining its historical use across various forms of media, from classic television and feature films to online ephemera, we reveal how this seemingly trivial transition embodies complex intersections of technology, memory, and aesthetic value.
