  1. The Videola Tools

    Don Hallock created the Videola at the National Center for Experiments in Television at KQED-TV, San Francisco; a color monitor in a mirrored pyramid produced an illusory spherical image 4x8 feet. It displayed images from camera, videotape recorder or video synthesizer; at NCET the Beck Direct Video Synthesizer was used as the input signal. The Videola was exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Art in September 1973 with videotape works by Hallock and a live performance by Stephen Beck; press coverage appeared in California Living, the San Francisco Chronicle and Artweek.
