  Nam June Paik and Shuya Abe developed the Paik/Abe Synthesizer at WGBH-TV (Boston) as the first machine designed to distort existing video; Paik was an artist-in-residence and part of The Medium Is The Medium project supported by Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Artists-In-Television Project. The instrument routed seven black-and-white surveillance cameras through non-linear amplifiers into a colorizer/scan modulator and RGB-to-NTSC encoder; it debuted on WGBH Ch. 44 on August 1, 1970 in a four-hour broadcast Video Commune set to Beatles recordings. Paik later built additional synthesizers for the Experimental Television Workshop and WNET; the original is exhibited at the Kunsthalle Bremen in a frame of vintage televisions showing dates of production.
