Abstract

"Interactive narrative did not begin in cyberspace. It has deep, tangled roots in an array of earlier forms. But the new electronic media provokes us to reconceptualize these two concepts--narrative and interactivity--their distinctive functions and pleasures, and their complex relations with history and subjectivity." With that began the opening remarks given by Marsha Kinder, co-organizer of "Interactive Frictions: At The Pressure Point Between Theory & Practice" and professor of Critical Studies at the University of Southern California (USC) School of Cinema-Television.https://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2479/is_2_27/ai_59586974

    The essay traces the genealogy of interactivity in avant-garde video from nineteenth-century shifts in communal practices and the 1876 introduction of the telephone to contemporary machine-mediated intimacy; it argues that technological developments shortened distances and fostered new models of social connection. It situates the genesis of video art in the late 1960s following Sony's 1968 1/2-inch equipment, surveys artists and movements (including Nam June Paik, Douglas Davis, Alan Kaprow) and venues such as WGBH, WNET, and KQED, and discusses cable public-access, satellite projects, and interactive videodisk experiments. Specific projects cited include Douglas Davis's 1970s broadcasts, Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz's Hole in Space (1980), Nam June Paik's Good Morning Mr. Orwell (1984), and the Lister Hill Center's 1971 New Hampshire-Vermont Interactive Network.
