* ======================== */
"The Experimental Television Center was founded in 1971, an outgrowth of
a media access program established by Ralph Hocking at Binghamton
University in 1969."
Sherry Miller Hocking is the Assistant Director of the Experimental
Television Center. The Center acheives its' primary mission "to
support the creation of work using new electronic media technologies, by
providing space and time to artists for personal, self-directed creative
investigations" through its' residency program. From the Center's first
artist in residence, Nam June Paik, to the most recent artists, ETC has
operated for over 30 years, committed to supporting and fostering work in
an exceptional environment dedicated to
experimentation and the development of artist-built tools and systems.
Sherry Miller Hocking has worked with the Center from the second year of
its' operation. As Assistant Director of the Center, she has
worked on and organized conferences, screenings, exhibitions and
events, from those that defined the initial possibilities,
constraints and dimensions of early Video Art to more recent
reflective efforts such as the Video History: Making Connections
conference, which she organized with independent preservation
consultant Mona Jimenez. In addition, she acts as the Project
Director of the Center's Video History Project, an online resource for
the documentation, study and preservation of early Video Art. This
database driven application/platform began in 1994 and invites
contributions to the protection of endangered or marginalized
histories and the development of a "dynamic and inclusive" model for
contemporary media art historicization.
/* ======================= *
v.002.1x532.pL
* ======================== */
Peter Luining builds artware and interactive pieces which engage with art
historical traditions and function as playful tools for the
performance of live audio-visual media. As the founder of
L-Foundation and ctrlaltdel.org, he has distributed his artwares, click
environments, soundengines and audio-visual instruments since 1995.
Working as the curator of the net.art exhibition NetAffects, he developed
an exhibition which @ a critical time, foregrounded "the developments of
autonomous work worldwide, with a specific interest in the situation in
the Netherlands". As an artist and performer, he has contributed to the
emerging activity of soundengine authoring while operating from a
position deeply informed by his philosophic, aesthetic and conceptual
concerns. His background in commercial music video direction and VJ
culture, has made him especially sensitive to and interested in the
relationships between perfomers and audiences, interfaces and artists and
sound and image in responsive systems.
