  3. The Tapes are Disappearing Preservation

    Account of the deterioration and neglect of independently produced videotape since the 1960s, tracing preservation concerns to NEA support for the American Film Institute and the early Film and Television Archives Advisory Committee (later AMIA); it documents the finite lifespan of videotape, the dispersal of collections, and limited resources for care. The text lists preservation initiatives including BAVC’s 1995 remastering facility, IMAP’s 1999 founding, key publications and conferences, and announces a May 2002 symposium to address remastering, economics and collection assessment; named participants and funders include Deirdre Boyle, Debby Silverfine, Luke Hones, Mona Jimenez, the Library of Congress, NYS Council on the Arts and the Getty Foundation.

  4. Two Texts Concerning Portable Video Tools

    Two short texts by Sherry Miller Hocking document the emergence of portable video and a chronology of portable videotape recorders; Early Portable Video (April 1992) describes Sony's mid-1960s 1/2" CV systems and portapak technology including a black-and-white camera, separate battery-operated 1/2" recorder, ten-pin cable, external microphone, 20-minute tape capacity and helical-scan recording, and notes artist and activist use and foundation support from the Rockefeller Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts. The chronology (1999) lists 1965–1969 product introductions (Sony CV-2000, CV-2400, CV-2100/2200), EIAJ 1/2" standards in 1969, and Nam June Paik's early use in New York; appended material illustrates the CV portapak and product brochures.
