  • Notes on Videotape and TV Bibliography

    Kenneth Dominick examines videotape and television practice as processes that reshape inner and outer experience; he cites Paul Ryan in Radical Software (summer 1970) and frames videotape as feedback rather than mere transmission. He links the medium to Allegheny College and the Experimental Television Center's temporary presence in Meadville, noting that Allegheny will briefly gain television-producing capability. He argues for decentralization through portable recording-and-playback hardware and independent regional centers to counter network and cable control, and describes videotape's perceptual and affective effects.

  • Peggy Ahwesh People

    Peggy Ahwesh has worked behind the camera since the early '80s from Pittsburgh and makes films that combine hanging out and acting out with serendipitous occurrences and telling details; her characters are outspoken and the films respond to the muffling zeitgeist. Her work is described as documents and distilled essays about ruptures between childhood, adolescence and adulthood that penetrate American ritual and unearth subterranean roots of sandbox antics, doll playing, bedroom dalliance, tourist attractions, social gatherings and S/M love relationships.
