  1. A Brief History of "6673" Bibliography

    Aldo Tambellini made a black-and-white video in New York City in 1966 by shining lights directly into a video camera, which burned out a vidicon and produced permanent black spots; he collaborated with engineers at Video Flight to manipulate test patterns and used an oscilloscope for sound, later adding his own improvised voice. The 55 minute tape was reprocessed in 1973 at NYC Public Access Television Channel 13 with the Paik-Abe Synthesizer and titled 6673. The tape was transferred to DVD in May 2003 at CTL Electronics in New York City.

Tambellini proposes an art of Black as a moving, temporary force controlled by the artist's mind; Wise and Bruner describe domestic and architectural applications while Reisdorf and San Pietro emphasize collaboration between artist and engineer and the transmission of electronic image forms.
