hi @kalikst and welcome onboard!
I don’t have direct experience with this but
- just to be clear this is digital tape, not magnetic VHS tape. Same generation/technology than our Canon camcorder
- yes, it can have a place in a video art setup: see that yellow “VIDEO IN” input? that’s a “composite video” connector, possibly the most common connector for analog video. the black “S-VIDEO IN” input is also common
- here’s a brochure for the AG-DV2700 (which looks almost identical to the AG-DV2700E): it’s not a manual but gives basic info https://www.adcom.it/public/images/pdf/ag-dv2700.pdf
- it doesn’t look very creative or versatile as a tool (generally speaking, digital equipment is more finicky than analog gear when dealing with glitchy input signals; it’s also harder to get glitchy or bizarre signals out of it)
