    Survey situating Buffalo as a mediating center between New York City and the wider world and documenting its independent media community centered at SUNY Buffalo's Center for Media Study, Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, and the collective Squeaky Wheel (founded 1985). The text profiles materialist practitioners (Paul Sharits, Hollis Frampton, Tony Conrad, Woody and Steina Vasulka) investigating film/video materiality; postmodern performers and installation artists (Barbara Lattanzi, Julie Zando) addressing spectator relations; and Squeaky Wheel's access initiatives (one Sony camcorder, Super 8, Video 8, Pixelvision toy camera, Axlegrease cable show, work-in-progress sessions). It also notes institutional support including the New York State Council on the Arts and exhibitions at the Johnson Museum, and references programming and criticism from Media Alliance, Chris Hill, Gerald O'Grady, and others.
