First, thanks to empyre ? and especially to Tim and Renate ? for the invitation to participate this month. I have been a long time, mostly silent observer, and have learned so much over the years from all of you.
I have spent over 40 years working with the ETC, a (very) small ? and intentionally so ? media arts ?organization? in Upstate New York. When we decided to end the Residency, Research, Grants and Sponsorship programs at ETC in 2011, I was often asked, ?So, are you closing? Will you retire??
I was unprepared for the query and had no answers. I didn?t feel retired. I looked at the ?? open reel videotapes which still fill our beer cooler qua climate-controlled storage facility, and wondered about our respective fates.
At the time we closed many of the ETC programs, I was very involved with Kathy High and Mona Jimenez, along with many brilliant scholars and artists, on completing the two volume book ?The Emergence of Video Processing Tools: Television Becoming Unglued?. Once the book was finally published in 2014, I took a step back and reconsidered some of the topics we had tried to address: from ideas as general as how do art, science and technology intersect, and are the collaborations that evolve specific to cultural and social environments; to topics as specific as those involving talk of codecs, wrappers and containers.
We became involved in the topics of media history and preservation in the 1990s.
Some of you were also at some of those meetings, I'm sure.
One result of the book was a mass of research materials, historical texts, artists? statements, technical descriptions which have not been put on the History site and even more questions:
ET is very grateful that the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art at Cornell has accepted the ETC?s collection of ephemera, to accompany our videotape collection; it is a very compatible home for us. Over the summer I had the privilege of working with two creative and intelligent Cornel grad stuents, Alana Staiti and Lauren van Haaften-Schick, on constructing an inventory for these materials. It proved to be an overwhelming, exciting, hilarious, tedious, exhilarating and at time cringe-worthy experience. It can be difficult to understand the history of something you have been so much involved with.
The ephemera will form one of the major sections for the upcoming exhibition organized by Hunter College Art Galleries and the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art at Cornell, "The Experimental Television Center: A History, Etc . . . " opening at the Galleries on September 24th, and running through November 21st. The exibition was organized by Tim Murray of Cornell and Sarah Watson, Curator at Hunter. Also on view are videotapes by over 40 artists, hand-crafted now obsolete analog processing equipment, performances by contemporary artists working with custom-designed instruments, and tools built by artist/technologists for day?s practitioners.
We are always looking for conversations about video and its histories, and I?m sure I?ve come to the right place.
Sherry

Hello empyre! Thanks for the invitation to participate, and in advance to all for what is sure to be an engaging conversation. And thank you Sherry for kicking off the conversation, in addition to ALL that you have done and continue to do! Recently the "memories" function on Facebook reminded me that yesterday marks the anniversary of the Great Flood of Owego, back in 2011. While the ETC studio, which at that point had ceased operating as a residency space, did not suffer from the flood, the disaster resulted in an expedited move of the video library to Cornell University. It's exciting to know that the Center's paper archives and ephemera are now united with this A/V collection, and I look forward to learning how all of these materials will be made publicly accessible. As a curator I have found that a chance to exhibit is a chance to preserve. Exhibitions have often led to the preservation of artist projects--either by requiring the resurrection of early electronic art works or the migration of media to new presentation platforms. When the Center produced its phenomenal DVD box set "Experimental Television Center: 1969-2009" many contributing artists benefited from the opportunity to preserve their early analog videos. I also look forward to learning more about the Hunter exhibition and how it has inspired the preservation of early ETC works. Carolyn
