  8. Interview with Jud Yalkut Interview

    Jud Yalkut, an experimental filmmaker whose films and inter-media events have been exhibited at the Everson Museum, discusses his practice working in film and videotape and his collaboration with Nam June Paik beginning in 1965; he mixes film and video through editing, superimposition and generational transfers and employs hand-held camera work, high-speed and time-lapse photography and single-frame techniques. He emphasizes dislocating ordinary perception to create layered, multi-image, non-narrative works—examples include Video Film Concert and the robot sequence in P*AxI-K—and cites influences such as McLuhan, Stan Brakhage and Eisenstein.

  11. Interview with Nancy Meli Walker: Jamming with The Poool and NNeng Interview

    Nancy Meli Walker, who shifted from fashion design to cast-glass sculpture integrating computer animation and live television, and Benton Bainbridge, an NYU-trained video artist with early experience in Super 8, electronics and live performance, are core members of live video-performance group The Poool alongside Angie Eng; they have performed together in and around New York City since 1993. Bainbridge co-founded the 77Hz group with Philip R. Bonner, Jonathan Giles, Eric Schefter and Michael Schell and held a residency at the Experimental Television Center in 1989; NYU acquired a Fairlight CVI in 1985. The Poool performs about once a year with largely scripted suites, while NNeng (No Eng) performs about monthly with more improvisation, including collaboration with musician Brian Moran.

  12. Interview with Peer Bode Interview

    Peer Bode discusses his long involvement with the Experimental Television Center (ETC; 1971–78 Binghamton, 1978–present Owego, NY), where he taught resident artists, developed and modified low-cost video tools and studio practices, and collaborated with figures such as Nam June Paik. He contrasts 1970s material- and process-focused electronic practices (portapaks, Paik-Abe synthesizer, SEG) with 1980s appropriation and corporate funding pressures, noting distribution via WNET and publications like Radical Software. Bode produced Video Locomotion (1978) and Music on Triggering Surfaces (1978) and directs the Video Arts Program at the N.Y.S.C.C. at Alfred University.

  21. Interview with Walter Wright Interview

    Walter Wright moved from architecture into computer graphics around 1966 at the University of Waterloo, where he developed early 3D software and CAD programs and worked with electronic music and a Moog synthesizer; he later worked in New York for companies such as Computer Image Corporation using the Scanimate. He became Associate Director of The Kitchen and organized the weekly Open Screening, acquired a SONY portapak, and in 1972 was the second artist in residence at the Experimental Television Center in Binghamton, NY, where he worked with the Paik/Abe Video Synthesizer, ran demonstrations and workshops, and discussed NYSCA funding and shifts from live performance to museum-based installation.

  25. Introduction Preservation

    Sherry Miller Hocking's February 2002 introduction surveys efforts to preserve independent videotape and electronic media from the 1960s to 2002; it documents institutions and initiatives including the NEA and AFI, F/TAAC/AMIA, MoMA's 1991 symposium, Playback 1996, BAVC's remastering facility (1995), IMAP (1999), TechArcheology (2000), Preserving the Immaterial (2001) and the Looking Back/Looking Forward symposium (May 31–June 1, 2002). It identifies technical and organizational problems—videotape deterioration, obsolete equipment, dispersed collections and lack of a union catalog—and lists recommended actions such as compatible cataloging, remastering research and facilities, public and educational programs, and broader funding and coalitions.
