A History: Etc...
Sarah Watson
For over forty years, the Experimental Television Center (ETC) was one of North America’s
preeminent organizations for video art, fostering a community for creativity and innovation
through its residency and conceptual tool-building programs. Founded in 1971 by Ralph
Hocking, a professor in the Cinema Department at Binghamton University, the ETC
developed out of Hocking’s media-access organization Student Experiments in Television
(SET). As the interest in video as an artistic medium gained momentum, the ETC provided
access to and training in this new technology to artists; interested citizens; and social,
cultural, and educational organizations. Invested in pushing the boundaries of video as a
medium, the ETC developed a program to create more flexible video processing tools for
artists. Under the direction of artist Nam June Paik and engineer Shuya Abe, a Paik/Abe
Video Synthesizer was constructed for the Center’s permanent use, which launched the
ETC’s artist residency program.
Over 1,500 artists participated in the ETC residency program, which was located in
Binghamton, New York from 1971 to 1980 and in Owego, New York from 1980 to 2011.
The residency functioned as a site for play, exploration, education, and practice for media
artists. Although the Center closed its physical space in 2011, its philosophy and ethos
endures through an ongoing commitment to education, research, and the preservation of
video as a creative medium. According to this mission, the ETC’s comprehensive archive is
now housed in the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art at Cornell University in Ithaca,
New York and is currently being digitized, preserved, and made available for research.
The Experimental Television Center: A History, Etc… is the first survey of the ETC’s prolific,
yet under-recognized role in the evolution of video art, which is marked by collaboration,
hacker-technology, and artistic liberation. The exhibition includes works by over sixty artists,
from the 1960s through the 2000s; a large selection of ephemera and original analog
instruments designed by artists/technologists; and two interactive installations featuring
contemporary tools.
Most of the works and materials presented within this exhibition are culled from the
Experimental Television Center’s vast collection and map the ETC’s influence within the
larger narrative of the history of video into the digital and internet age. The stories that
unfold through the unpacking of the archive are complex and varied and involve an expansive
ecosystem of artists, technologists, organizations, tapes, machines, and tools. The nature
of the archive seems to mirror the inherent material and immaterial qualities of the early
medium, which the ETC has worked so diligently to preserve: the lost frame, the glitch, the
erasure. These limitations of the early technology were embraced by artists for their poetic
potential and have now become aesthetics that gesture towards the liminal and tactile
beginnings of video.
