Synapse: Personal Recollections Groups

Robert Edgar contributed an eyewitness account by email on 8/04; between 1973 and 1976 he taught two classes each semester at Synapse through the College of Visual and Performing Arts, a visiting-artist program and a production class in video aesthetics. Visiting artists included Nam June Paik, Dennis Oppenheim, Juan Downey, Jaime Davidovich, Tom DeWitt and Dimitri Devyatkin; Synapse averaged about one visiting artist per month. In the summer before 1974 participants installed the university's first cable system via manholes and crawlspaces, mounted monitors in campus buildings, promoted an alternative to commercial television and drew front-page Wall Street Journal coverage when Wavy Gravy inadvertently cablecast a 16mm Deep Throat into university geriatric housing.
