  8. Electronic Linguistics Bibliography

    Taka Iimura, a Japanese film and video artist, investigates perception of time and duration in film; his videotapes probing television's basic vocabulary were screened at the Long Beach Post-Production Studio. He uses a closed-circuit, self-referential video system—routing a VTR camera image through a monitor—and a VTR unit routed through a switcher with two cameras and two monitors to examine structural relationships of language. Beginning in 1976 he adopted a linguistic model where the subject/camera (I) can see the object/monitor (you); LA video artist Norman Yonemoto described the work as educational lessons in a visual language.

    Electronic Video Image Processing: Notes Toward a Definition

  14. Electronic Video Image Processing: Notes Towards a Definition Tools

    Situates video art from the late 1960s portable-recording era; over fifteen years artists extended performance, conceptual, narrative, documentary, formalist and experimental practices. Defines electronic image processing as working with video signal parameters (frequency, amplitude, phase) and electronic tools—oscillators, synthesizers, computers, monitors and printers—to manipulate imagery using keying, superimposition, digitization, preprogramming and real-time techniques. Addresses distribution and reception issues, distinguishing video from television and noting alternative technologies (cable, satellite, video disc, VCRs) and interactive systems that give viewer control, and raises questions of reproducibility, editions and the location of the art object.

  15. Electronic Visions Bibliography

    John Minkowsky introduces the Electronic Visions catalog and traces television from mid-1940s commercial dominance to its adoption by artists and galleries two decades later; he cites small-format portable video equipment (forerunners of BETA and VHS), an art-world shift from unique objects to process, and an emphasis on innovation. He parallels television with the post-war digital computer, notes early machines filled laboratories and universities, quotes Gene Youngblood on electronic communication, and states that the fusion of art and technology, when sensitively guided, is the future of art.

  17. Electronic Zen: The Alternative Video Generation Jud Yalkut Interviews Eric Siegel Television Is The Last Communication Link We Have To Change This Country Interview

    Eric Siegel (b.1944), interviewed in 1970, built his first TV camera at fifteen and won New York City Science Fair awards for home-made closed-circuit television projects; he worked in closed-circuit television and in 1966 in the Educational TV Department at the University of London. In 1968 he produced the videotape program PSYCHEDELEVISION for the Channel One closed-circuit theatre, designed special-effects components for TELEVANILLA at the Martinique Theatre, exhibited at the Howard Wise Gallery and Brandeis University (VISION AND TELEVISION, 1970), repaired a two-inch Ampex helical-scan recorder, developed a colorizer and planned a video synthesizer while discussing technology, distribution and television's social role.

  18. Electronic Zen: The Alternative Video Generation Self-Correction Through Cybernetics Jud Yalkut Interviews Paul Ryan Interview

    Paul Ryan discusses Kleinform theory and the EARTHSCORE project with interviewer Jud Yalkut, arguing that videotape feedback reveals individual firstness and enables triadic, self-corrective behavior; he situates the work in relation to cybernetics, McLuhan, and his 1973 book Birth and Death and Cybernation and references an unpublished 1971 rap. He describes technical practice with a Sony portable/portapak and continuous-tape procedures, and he outlines EARTHSCORE as an intentional community of minimum 36 people organized into creche, chreod and work self-corrective cells with the Canon of Self Correction, never less than three.
