  • Video: The Reflexive Medium Bibliography

    Sara Hornbacher, Guest Editor, frames eleven articles and reviews and includes Barbara Londons Selected Chronology covering 196393 to outline the brief history of video art. Contributors examine technological and institutional change, including Benjamin Buchloh on developments since the mid-1960s; Katherine Dieckmann on Electra at the Mus6e d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (1984); Lucinda Furlong on image-processed video and Nam June Paik and the marketing of portable video equipment by SONY/Japan; and the rise of media centers funded by state and federal agencies and university programs. Hornbacher is a visual artist, curator and artist-in-residence at The Experimental Television Center, Owego, New York, since 1976.

  • Did the Portapak Cause Video Art? Notes on the Formation of a New Medium Bibliography

    Survey of video art’s formation (1965–c.1977) arguing that its rise cannot be ascribed solely to the 1968 portapak; institutional uptake (Whitney Biennial 1973; MoMA Open Circuits Jan 1974) and a rapid proliferation of genres occurred in 1968–1972. The essay examines practitioners and technologies — including Woody and Steina Vasulka (video feedback; Didactic Video 1975), Steve Beck (synthesizers), Frank Gillette (Wipe Cycle 1969; Track/Trace 1973) and Paul Ryan (Earthscore; NYSCA support 1971–75) — to contrast intensive (materialist) and extensive (ecological/activist) strategies. It concludes that both technological primitives and ecological/communicative aims jointly shaped video’s early aesthetics before a shift toward normalization by c.1977–78.
