Interview with Peer Bode Interview

Peer Bode discusses his long involvement with the Experimental Television Center (ETC; 1971–78 Binghamton, 1978–present Owego, NY), where he taught resident artists, developed and modified low-cost video tools and studio practices, and collaborated with figures such as Nam June Paik. He contrasts 1970s material- and process-focused electronic practices (portapaks, Paik-Abe synthesizer, SEG) with 1980s appropriation and corporate funding pressures, noting distribution via WNET and publications like Radical Software. Bode produced Video Locomotion (1978) and Music on Triggering Surfaces (1978) and directs the Video Arts Program at the N.Y.S.C.C. at Alfred University.
