Ross began planning the department roughly 6 months before it was actually established. Its basic idea was that of providing artists with access to the form. He went on to develop an exhibition format for video art, a small archive, a community oriented education program, and an initial plan for promoting the museum\u0027s participation in the cable TV system, to be established in Syracuse during the next few years. A substantial donation from the Rosamond Gifford Foundation provided the basic hardware for the Department\u0022. - James Harithas, catalog for Work from the Experimental Television Center, September 1972.","offset":0,"nextOffset":null,"totalCharacters":918,"complete":true},"rightsUrl":"https://www.videohistoryproject.org/terms-service"}
