Hi all,
A great batch of first projects! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the work of your peers in the comments section before Monday.
As I mentioned before, on Monday we are visiting Willinet. We will meet at the regular time and place and immediately walk over to their Spring Street studio. So it's extra important to be on time (not that any of you would ever be late to class)...
When we get there, we will be met by Debby Dane (try saying her name and then my name, six times fast) and have a little time to talk a bit about the history of cable access television and some of the uses that artists, activists and community organizers have put it to. You'll have watched the videotape Paper Tiger Reads Paper Tiger TV, which is a sort of "Best Of" reel for the legendary cable access group in NYC, and read the quasi-manifestos of Paper Tiger members Sherry Milner ("Bargain Media") & Joan Braderman ("TV/Video: Reclaiming the Utopian Moment"). Selections from Dee Dee Halleck's book Hand Held Visions will provide background for community media in general and some specifics on the access movement. Gregg Bordowitz, in another quasi-manifesto ("Operative Assumptions"), will elucidate some of his reasons for getting involved with public access TV as an art student.
Looking forward to coming back to Williams!
