Set in Motion: The New York State Council on the Arts Celebrates 30 Years of Independents: Notes on the Rise of Independent Media Bibliography
Daryl Chin, an artist and critic in New York City, surveys the rise of U.S. independent media and credits government arts funding—notably the New York State Council on the Arts—with widening access to production, equipment and distribution. He outlines technological shifts (Super-8, Betacam, VHS, 16mm, optical printers, Portapak) and institutional supports such as the Millennium Film Workshop and media distributors. He cites works including Kathe Sandler's A Question of Color and discusses media hybridity, diversity, funding constraints and the need for computer literacy.
