  • Reach Out and Touch Someone: The Romance of Interactivity Bibliography

    The essay traces the genealogy of interactivity in avant-garde video from nineteenth-century shifts in communal practices and the 1876 introduction of the telephone to contemporary machine-mediated intimacy; it argues that technological developments shortened distances and fostered new models of social connection. It situates the genesis of video art in the late 1960s following Sony's 1968 1/2-inch equipment, surveys artists and movements (including Nam June Paik, Douglas Davis, Alan Kaprow) and venues such as WGBH, WNET, and KQED, and discusses cable public-access, satellite projects, and interactive videodisk experiments. Specific projects cited include Douglas Davis's 1970s broadcasts, Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz's Hole in Space (1980), Nam June Paik's Good Morning Mr. Orwell (1984), and the Lister Hill Center's 1971 New Hampshire-Vermont Interactive Network.
