Electronic Visions Bibliography

John Minkowsky introduces the Electronic Visions catalog and traces television from mid-1940s commercial dominance to its adoption by artists and galleries two decades later; he cites small-format portable video equipment (forerunners of BETA and VHS), an art-world shift from unique objects to process, and an emphasis on innovation. He parallels television with the post-war digital computer, notes early machines filled laboratories and universities, quotes Gene Youngblood on electronic communication, and states that the fusion of art and technology, when sensitively guided, is the future of art.
