The Experimental Television
Center is happy to announce that our electronic media arts
grants programs have been given new homes. The Technical Assistance
Program will be
managed by free103point9.
The Presentation Funds
and Finishing Funds
Programs will be administered by The Arts Council of the
Southern Finger Lakes.
ETC has been administering the
Presentation Funds and Finishing Funds Programs since 1989, and
the Technical Assistance Program since 1998. It has been an
honor and a privilege to have had the opportunity to work with
all of you over the years. ETC would also like to thank
Electronic Media and Film at the New York State Council on the
Arts which has steadily supported our efforts to help the media
arts flourish.
ETC isn’t going away, but
rather refocusing our programs. We have redesigned the ETC
website, so if you haven’t visited in
awhile, please take a look. We will be spending more time on the
development of the Video History Project and working on
preservation activities with our partner organizations at Migrating
Media.
Experimental
Television Center: 1969 – 2009 (5
DVD set with catalog), is an anthology of video art works
created through the Residency Program since its inception in
1969 and includes the works of about 100 media artists. The
collection was featured in 2011 at Anthology Film Archives. It
was named top 100 DVDs for 2010 by LUX, the influential arts
organization in London, UK. In 2011 the collection was named by
LUX as one of 50
essential moving-image artists DVDs
in publication. The collection is available through the
well-known distributor of contemporary art Electronic
Arts Intermix.
The complete library of
artists’ works at ETC is being archived at the Rose
Goldsen Archive of New Media.
Under the sponsorship of the Division of Rare and Manuscript
Collections at the Carl Kroch Library at Cornell University, the
archive is curated by Dr. Tim Murray, Director of Graduate
Studies in Comparative Literature and Director for the Society
for the Humanities at Cornell. The mission is to digitize the
collection and provide multiple levels of access to the works
and study materials for people internationally.
We are excited about the future
and look forward to staying in touch with all of you.
