EXPERIMENTAL TV CENTER

The Experimental Television Center was founded in 1971, a consequence of a media access program established by Ralph Hocking at Binghamton University in 1969. Today the Center continues to provide support services to the community and Media Arts.

experiments for students in television, a predecessor of ETC, was begun in 1969 by Ralph Hocking on the campus of Binghamton University.
The technology has been applied in a wide variety of projects ranging from social, political and educational programs in the arts and cultural events. As the demand greater access and with the encouragement of the video artist Nam June Paik, the Center formally organized as a global not-for-profit educational purposes, he moved into a loft in downtown Binghamton.
The Centre has been divided into more established centers throughout New York State thanks in large part to the efforts of New York State Council on the Arts and the staff Peter Bradley, Russell Connor and Barbara Haspiel. Designed by Ralph Hocking, the Center has addressed the potential of new technology in three main communities: the artists, social organizations, cultural and education of citizens and stakeholders.
access to facilities, education in its operation, and viewing and editing facilities, as well as a series of workshops have been regularly provided free of charge to facilitate a wide-ranging research of videos and films and tapes were often projected in places d 'meeting in the region. Create
involvement with artists interested in investigating the video as a means of non-profit contemporary art was an integral part of the activities of the Centre.
A research program was initiated to provide a range of more flexible instruments of images of artists.
Beginning with modifications to existing equipment, the Center progressed to the design and construction of image processing. One early project involves the construction of the Paik / Abe Video Synthesizer, under the direction of Nam June Paik and Shuya Abe, for the laboratory-TV WNET-TV.
After installation at the Centre in 1972 of a second system, the Centre has started a residency program. Artists such as
Paik, Shigeko Kubota, poet and artist Jackson MacLow video activist Rudi Stern has begun to use the facility.
A series of 'annual exhibitions brought to the Southern Tier for video artists to present and discuss their work.
Innovations included a 32-page frame buffer and control software and printer software 2-D, designed by Jones. The Amiga system was further expanded with the addition of a keyboard and audio control software and a toaster. Today the emphasis
is on 'integration of' old analog to new digital technologies to provide a richer environment. The program supports projects of residency for artists who come to the video art as a practice of contemporary electronic 'art cinema. Has provided more than 1500 artists the opportunity to study, through individualized teaching, techniques for analog and digital image processing, and use the operating system for the creation of new works.
