A Proposal for Low Cost Retrieval of Early Videotapes Produced on Obsolete Equipment and/or Videotape that Will Not Play Back. Or The Resurrection Bus Preservation
Proposal from an author at the TV Center to outfit a vehicle with early videotape playback equipment to retrieve reel-to-reel tapes produced from the late 1960s to about 1975; formats cited include several 1/2", 1/4" and possibly 1" tape, with 2" tape handled by commercial services. The plan calls for traveling to owners, sending a tape-cleaning machine ahead, using equipment including Frame Synchronizers, ProcAmps, Magic, Candles and Prayer Rugs, and transferring material to a current videotape format chosen by the owner; transfers would be one-time and tapemakers are expected to participate. The proposer offers to research costs and scope and requests contact by mail at the TV Center.

Motion: An Exhibition of Essentialist Film and Video. The 58th Exhibition of Central New York Artists Bibliography
Ralph Hocking offers an artist statement for a computer-based installation slated for fall 1999; his listed installation works are Jump, diggit and Running, and he links the project to prior study in pottery. The work uses four to nine monitors, each driven by its own Amiga with one video and two audio outputs and a serial link to a master referee computer; the Amiga provides four oscillators and image and sound sampling, and imagery is altered by digital processing techniques including convolving, bit swapping and field manipulation, producing three-dimensional illusions. The project is part of Motion: The 58th Exhibition of Central New York Artists at the Munson Williams Proctor Institute, October 2, 1999 to January 2, 2000, curated by John Knecht.
