Since 1971 we have assisted over 1400 artists in the creation of works using new electronic video, sonic and digital technologies. Each year about 40 artists are invited to work in the studio, offering in a retreat-like workshop environment, access to an image processing system, intensive individualized instruction and time for exploration and personal creative growth. The system is a hybrid tool set, encouraging artists to create interactive relationships between older historically important analog instruments and new digital technologies, and to explore boundaries and intersections within narrative, documentary and experimental forms. With assistance from mediaThe foundation, we have been able to significantly advance the digital components of the imaging system, incorporating a quad G5 along with 2 G4s, other sonic and control modules by Doepfer, interactive software including Max/MSP, Jitter and Pluggo as well as DVD authoring and editing software. This year\u0027s 53 artists represent 8 states, as well as Israel and Germany. About 35% are artists from outside New York State. Applicants this year included Mara Alper (NY); Benton Bainbridge and Stephan Moore (NY); Ann Bennett (NY); Caitlin Berrigan (NY); Debora Brown (AZ); Torsten Burns and Kari Catske (MA); Evangelos Courpas (NY): Terry Cuddy (NY); Eleanor Dubinsky (NY); Maria Dumlao (NY); Renate Ferro (NY); Scott Fitzgerald (NY); Brendan Ford (MA); Madeleine Gallagher and David Barker (NY); Raymond Ghirardo and Megan Roberts (NY); Pamela Hawkins (NY); Nadia Hironaki (PA); Sara Hornbacher (GA); Thomas Hufford (MA); Richard Kostelanetz and Matt Underwood (NY); Bosung Kim (NJ); Zohar Kfir (Israel); David Kwan (CA); Annie Langan (KY); Jason Livingston (NY); Cynthia Lovett (NY); Craig Marsden (NY); Darrin Martin (CA); Jeffrey Martin (NY); Christina McPhee (CA); Marianne Petit (NY); John Phillips (PA); Magaly Ponce (MA); Ron Rocco (NY); Bernard Roddy (IL); Mike Rosenthal (NY); Paul Rowley (NY); Luciana Sanz and Amoeba Technology (NY); Caspar Stracke (NY); Fereshteh Toosi (PA); Paris Treantafeles and Robert Martinez (NY); Dan Vatsky (NY); Bryan Wolf (Germany); Roger Wyatt (NY); Tarmara Yadao (NY); Neil Zusman (NY). Tapes produced at the Center were again included in exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe and on the Web. Recent exhibition venues have included Eyebeam, Tonic, Art in General, The Robert Beck Memorial Cinema, the Museum of Modern Art, The Kitchen, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Tank, Anthology Film Archives and Carnegie Art Center and in festivals including the New York Underground Film Festival, International Digital Arts Festival (Australia), Resolutions at Hallwalls (Buffalo), Loop Festival (Spain), the VideoEx Festival (Zurich), Biennial of Moving Images (Switzerland), Viper (Basel) and the 9th Annual Dumbo Festival (Brooklyn).

Artists working at the Center this year have received awards and recognition from State Arts Councils, the National Endowment for the Arts and private foundations and have received numerous awards and citations in festivals around the world. In keeping with our educational objectives, we hosted the 11th Annual International Summer Workshop, a 10 day intensive residency available for graduate and undergraduate academic credit to 18 media makers. The workshop is co-taught by Pamela Susan Hawkins and Hank Rudolph. Since 1996, ETC and the Institute for Electronic Arts (IEA) have sponsored the International Summer Workshop (ISW), a collaborative video and sonic arts opportunity. A primary goal of ETCISW is the exploration of video as a contemporary electronic arts medium and the promotion of collaborative art practice. The ETC studio is an immersive environment where artists interact with the Center\u0027s hybrid toolset and collaboration is encouraged by the very nature of the open architecture of the system. Please visit http://www.etcisw.com to see the works which are created during this workshop. We also participate in online salons hosted by NAMAC, empyre and other arts, information and advocacy groups. Through the Media Arts Technical Assistance Program we work with organizations from all regions of New York State to develop the media arts field. We helped organize convenings including a CNYPG meeting hosted by Colgate University and a Hudson Valley regional meeting in Woodstock, and assisted organizations to attend the several conferences and festivals including the 17th annual NAMAC conference, the Flaherty Film Seminar, the Orphan Film Festival, the Association of Moving Image Preservationists and others. The Center serves as a sponsoring organization for artists\u0027 projects in the electronic and film arts, providing support services, assistance with development and fiscal and administrative management services. We sponsor about 20 projects each year. Since 2001, with requests totaling over one million dollars, artists have received almost $400,000. Completed projects have seen worldwide exhibition and distribution, and have been supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, the NYS Council on the Arts, the McCarthy Foundation, Funding Exchange, the Rockefeller Foundation, ITVS, Astraea Foundation, Soros Documentary Fund, Chase Manhattan and many others.

Other sources of support for sponsored projects currently in production have come from ETC Finishing Funds, mediaThe foundation and private sources.
