    Experimental Television Center (Owego, New York) is a residency and production organization active since 1971; it hosted annual residency programs, supported over 1,100 artists, and added digital tools such as a third Amiga and the Toaster (1990–91), a Miro non-linear board, and a G4 Mac with nonlinear editing (1996–2000). Works by residents were screened at major institutions including MoMA, the Whitney, and the New Museum; the Center administered Presentation, Finishing and Media Arts Technical Assistance funds and ran the Video History Project, which produced a website (launched 2000) and a Video History conference (Syracuse University, Oct 16–18, 1998). Funding came from NYSCA, NEA, Andy Warhol Foundation, NYFA and others.
