Tribute to the Experimental Television Center

The Experimental Television Center is a unique video art production studio in Owego, New York. Since its founding by Ralph Hocking in 1971, ETC has been providing artists with access to the tools of video art production through residencies and grants. The studio includes several one-of-a-kind pieces of video processing equipment, including a custom-built Dave Jones Colorizer and 8 Channel Video Sequencer, the Paik/Abe Raster Synthesizer or "Wobbulator'," and a custom Dan Sandin Image Processor, among others. This year, after over 40 years of service in the media arts field, Ralph (Director) and Sherry Miller Hocking (Assistant Director) are retiring and closing the Center down.
Featured Works:
Working together with the Standby Program, we have selected a group of videos by artists who are alumni of both ETC and Standby. Many of these tapes have been preserved through Standby's Video Preservation Program, and they are each wonderfully rich examples of works that could not have been made possible without the visionary support of ETC. All works in this program were created on and will be projected from video.
