A Manner of Speaking: An Interview with Gary Hill Interview

Gary Hill (b. 1951, Santa Monica) is a sculptor and video artist who moved east in 1969 and began making videotapes at Woodstock Community Video in the early 1970s; his work evolved from sculpture and analog/digital image experiments to language-based tapes and multi-monitor installations. He worked with Portapaks, a Siegel colorizer, an analog-to-digital converter and small frame buffer (64x64), and a Rutt/Etra scan processor; notable works include Bathing, Windows, Sums and Differences, Picture Story, Around and About, Videograms, Primarily Speaking, Mesh, Glass Onion and Equal Time. He received production grants from the NEA, NYSCA and WNET, a Rockefeller video artists' fellowship in 1981 and a United States/Japan Exchange fellowship in 1982; the interview was recorded in Barrytown, N.Y., on Oct. 28, 1982 and Jan. 5, 1983.

Getting High Tech: The New Television Bibliography

Notes Toward a History of Image-Processed Video; Eric Siegel, Stephen Beck, Dan Sandin, Steve Rutt, Bill and Louise Etra Bibliography

Survey of the emergence of image-processing video as a genre situates its origins in the late 1960s alternative television movement and the pages of Radical Software; it describes tool types (raster manipulators, colorizers/mixers, synthesizers) and cites the Paik/Abe Video Synthesizer, the Rutt/Etra Scan Processor, Beck's Direct Video Synthesizer, Sandin's Image Processor, and Siegel's colorizer and prototype synthesizer. The article profiles Eric Siegel (built colorizers, prototype synthesizer, sold ~10 colorizers, later formed Siegel Electronics), Stephen Beck (NCET residency, completed synthesizer 1971, BeckTech), Dan Sandin (Image Processor finished by 1973, gave plans away, ~$3,000 Illinois Arts Council grant), and Bill and Louise Etra with Steve Rutt (built raster-scan device, WNET TV Lab support, ~20 machines produced; legal settlement ended marketing).

Television/Society/Art symposium, The Kitchen Bibliography

The Television/Society/Art symposium at the Kitchen in New York City, Oct. 24–26, convened theorists, critics, filmmakers and activists and was organized by Ron Clark and Mary MacArthur with $6,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts and $5,000 from the American Film Institute plus additional pledges; panelists included Benjamin Buchloh, Rosalind Krauss, Fredric Jameson, Herbert Schiller, Steina Vasulka, Jean-Pierre Gorin and Yvonne Rainer. Sessions treated television as a social institution, semiological and Marxist critiques, and the relationship of television and art; proceedings were marked by heated debate, audience interventions, limited videotape screenings (only Jean-Luc Godards work shown) and responsive additions to panels, and future conferences were announced.

Tracking Video Art: Image Processing as a Genre Bibliography

Lucinda Furlong, Curatorial Assistant in the Whitney Museum of American Art's Film and Video Department, traces the emergence of image processing as a distinct video-art genre from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s; she examines terminology, aesthetic debates, and the modernist and formalist impulses that shaped the work. The text documents early tool-builders and artists (Dan Sandin, Steina and Woody Vasulka, Eric Siegel, Stephen Beck, Bill Etra, Steve Rutt, Nam June Paik and Shuya Abe), key technologies (video synthesizers, Sandin Image Processor, Rutt-Etra, Moog, Z-Grass), institutions (Whitney Museum, Radical Software, Experimental Television Center, SUNY Binghamton, University of Illinois Circle Campus) and funding developments including a $50,000 NYSCA grant to Hocking's Center.
