  2. RCA SelectaVision VCR Tools

    Sony introduced the first Betamax video cassette recorder in the US in 1976; the system was marketed to encourage consumers to record television programs off the air, and Sony was sued by Disney and Universal, with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 1984 that home taping fell under the fair use exception. In October 1977 RCA introduced its SelectaVision Video Cassette system, produced by Matsushita and based on VHS; it was incompatible with Betamax and offered two-hour and four-hour recording modes while Betamax offered one hour. RCA marketed SelectaVision with prerecorded sports programming and a large promotion campaign; by 1979 VHS outsold Betamax by 2 to 1.

  11. Reach Out and Touch Someone: The Romance of Interactivity Bibliography

    The essay traces the genealogy of interactivity in avant-garde video from nineteenth-century shifts in communal practices and the 1876 introduction of the telephone to contemporary machine-mediated intimacy; it argues that technological developments shortened distances and fostered new models of social connection. It situates the genesis of video art in the late 1960s following Sony's 1968 1/2-inch equipment, surveys artists and movements (including Nam June Paik, Douglas Davis, Alan Kaprow) and venues such as WGBH, WNET, and KQED, and discusses cable public-access, satellite projects, and interactive videodisk experiments. Specific projects cited include Douglas Davis's 1970s broadcasts, Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz's Hole in Space (1980), Nam June Paik's Good Morning Mr. Orwell (1984), and the Lister Hill Center's 1971 New Hampshire-Vermont Interactive Network.
