    Intermedia artist and filmmaker Aldo Tambellini produced synaesthetic videotapes, videographic films and closed-circuit teledynamic environments centered on the theme of black; his 16mm film Black TV (1964–68, 9½ min.) compiles television news and experimental videotapes and was re-edited over a four-year period. He began working with videotape in 1966–67 and received a New York State Council on the Arts grant in spring 1969 to develop artist–engineer relationships, working with technologists at five educational TV stations in New York; he participated in WGBH-TV Boston's 1969 PBL program The Medium Is the Medium, producing the videotape Black. Black Video Two (1968) was exhibited at the Howard Wise Gallery in New York in 1967; Wise later commissioned Black Spiral with engineers from Bell Telephone Laboratories.
