  • Reflecting on the Future of Video Bibliography

    Tom Sherman (Department of Art Media Studies, Syracuse University) contributes a 1991 essay, commissioned by Montreal curator Rene Baert, surveying video as technology, art and environment and tracing formats from 1/2" reel-to-reel and 2" broadcast gear through 3/4", Betacam, consumer VCRs/camcorders and 8mm to desktop digital video, video-computers and chip cameras. He analyses roles of engineers, artists and institutions, funding via government grants and equipment manufacturers, distribution, exhibition and archival decay; and he predicts fragmented home audiences with growing elderly demand, interactive digital indexing and increased commercial exploitation alongside persistent access constraints for artists.
