COLD TAPE was shown as part of "A Century of Artists' Film in Great Britain", 'Eye Music' section, at Tate Britain from 19th May - 10th August 2003. "A short burst of rapidly changing digitally generated shapes - in the artist's words 'an interplay of opposites', Cold Tape closely reflects Riccardo Iacono's earlier films in which he painted abstract imagery directly onto the film's surface."
