Their work integrates sound and moving image using David Rokeby's The Very Nervous System; they developed The Appearance Machine, a networked system that reanimates consumer refuse into media assets for logged galleries. They worked nomadically 1992–1997, produced the work Playlist, and won awards at LIFE 3.0 (Madrid) and Images Festival (Telefilm Canada prize, 2000, Toronto).

• Light and Darkness in the Electronic Landscape: Some Aspects of the Video Image Tools

  Barbara Buckner's lecture, presented at the Collective for Living Cinema in February 1978, analyses the video image's technological and aesthetic properties, describing electron-beam scanning (525 horizontal lines, 30 frames/second, two fields per frame, 1/60th second vertical retrace), tape recording, monitors and sync pulses. She contrasts video and film, discusses video image processors and computer-based video synthesizers (citing Donald E. McArthur, Experimental Television Center, June 1977) and considers implications for storage, automated composition and the artist's role in machine-assisted image-making.

• SAID (Spatial and Intensity Digitizer) Tools

  The Spatial and Intensity Digitizer (SAID) was developed for the Experimental Television Center in Binghamton, New York, arising in 1976 from an effort to create a low-cost, video-speed analog-to-digital converter; the project implemented a 6 bit A/D and a companion 6 bit D/A, supported interactive-compositional and automatic-production modes, and produced posterize and mosaic effects in real time. Donald E. McArthur (b.1938; Ph.D. Theoretical Physics, University of Nebraska, 1967) designed SAID and later co-developed the McArthur/Schier Digital Image Generator with Jeff Schier for the Vasulkas; Walter Wright wrote the first program and Ralph Hocking and Jeff Schier participated in hardware arrangements.

  Ralph Hocking outlines his move from pottery and sculpture to photography, video and computer-based image work; he acquired a Paik/Abe synthesizer in 1972 and, with Sherleen Miller, produced multi-camera pieces (1971–1978) using mixing, reversal, rate switching and voltage control. With David Jones he developed a twenty-six-command program to manipulate frames and produce 256×256 black-and-white dot-matrix prints. He taught video art at SUNY Binghamton for thirteen years and founded and directed the Experimental Television Center Ltd. in Owego; entry appears in the Generic Real-time Interactive Digital catalog, Arnot Art Museum, July 12–September 28, 1986, curated by Peter Chamberlain.
