Abstract

Stephen Beck, Don Hallock, William Roarty, William Gwin. Contribution by Don Hallock: "Video City was a very short-lived magazine largely concerning itself with video art in the San Francisco area. There was quite a bit of video art exploration going on there in 1972, but not enough to support a high-toned magazine. And, though "This City" may have been "Built on Rock and Roll," certainly there was plenty of video art work in other cities - too much to call San Francisco 'Video City.' "

    Don Hallock created the Videola at the National Center for Experiments in Television at KQED-TV, San Francisco; a color monitor in a mirrored pyramid produced an illusory spherical image 4x8 feet. It displayed images from camera, videotape recorder or video synthesizer; at NCET the Beck Direct Video Synthesizer was used as the input signal. The Videola was exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Art in September 1973 with videotape works by Hallock and a live performance by Stephen Beck; press coverage appeared in California Living, the San Francisco Chronicle and Artweek.

  • About the Video History Project

    The Experimental Television Center’s Video History Project, begun in 1994, is an ongoing research initiative documenting video art and community television as they evolved in rural and urban New York State and spread across the US; initiatives include research, conferences and a website. The Project aims to identify, locate and make accessible tapes, artists’ instruments, writings and ephemera from early portable-media practices introduced in the late 1960s, and to cultivate research and public programming that situates independent media within broader cultural contexts. Thousands of tapes are held across New York State in libraries, museums, media arts centers, artists’ spaces, universities, video collectives and private collections; the Project invites public contribution and collaboration to assist preservation and access.
