The Medium of Television :Explorations in Video

In cooperation with Antioch College'sGraduate School of Media Studies, theBaltimore Museum will present an eight-week series of lectures/demonstrationsfocusing on the video medium as an artform and as a communications system .Video is the generic name for a kind ofpersonalized television that began withthe introduction of low-cost, portableequipment in the mid-60's . The public,on the whole, knows television onlythrough the commercial entertainmentthat is ordinarily associated with thetube . Yet, what the avant-garde or ex-perimental film-maker did with motionpictures, the video-artist is now doingwith television-exploring the mediumfor a new range of expressive possibili-ties . The aim of this series will be tocover the gamut of styles and formats

attempted so far in the first five years ofvideo's history: videographic films of the"expanded cinema," content-orienteddocumentaries of public access T.V.,pure, electronically generated synthe-sized, colorized images (including inter-face with computers), and perceptual,conceptual and process-oriented investi-gations of time and space.

The program, supported by a grantfrom the National Endowment for theArts, is being coordinated byAlan Kaplanand Tom Johnson, Associate Professorsin the Media Program of Antioch Col-lege's Baltimore Center . All programswill begin promptly at 8:00 P.M . in theMuseum Auditorium and are free andopen to all .
