Wise (b.

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 Bibliography

Electronic Video Image Processing: Notes Toward a Definition

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.

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.
