1-800-HOT-DUCK is an immersive archive curated from the forgotten corners of the internet, abandoned YouTube channels, and the shadowy recesses of the deep web. This always-expanding collection features a wild array of video ephemera that have been stolen, shared, and loved beyond recognition. Among its most coveted finds are gritty homemade horror films from unhinged teenagers in the 1980s, elusive global TV broadcasts, and rare experimental works by artists who would probably sue me if I said their names out loud.
Founded by Chrissy Marie Jones, a video artist and native of Philadelphia, 1-800-HOT-DUCK captures the raw, unfiltered pulse of underground media. Keep an eye out for her secret VHS release and her curatorial and hosting work with Cathode TV.
