Experimental Television Center Residency 2009

In November 2009 I participated in a residency at the Experimental Television Center. The studio is located in Owego, a small village in the central Southern Tier of New York State.

“The Center offered creative residencies to about 40 media artists annually from around the world from 1972–2011. Since its beginning in 1972 the Residency Program has offered residencies to over 1600 artists.

The Residency Program supported projects which approached media as a contemporary electronic and cinematic art form, providing artists with time and space for aesthetic exploration in the creation of new work. The self-directed work environment offers personalized instruction, use of a unique imaging system and access to the media library. Artists use the system themselves, and have unlimited access to the studio during their stay, with time and space for aesthetic exploration in the creation of new works.

The image processing system is a hybrid tool set, permitting the artist to create interactive relationships between older historically important analog instruments and new digital technologies.”

Using analog and digital processes I was able to generate over 14 hours of footage that I plan to edit and produce into a video.
