*PROGRAM I ? The Language of Technology*

Some of the earliest examples of video art exploited

the technical possibilities unique to the new medium,

such as image manipulation, experimental animation

and instantaneous playback. This program shows the

diversity of works produced, including those by James

Byrne, Computer Technique Group (CTG), Gary Hill,

Takahiko Iimura, Kohei Ando, Toshio Matsumoto,

Nam June Paik, and Keigo Yamamoto, Katsuhiro Yamaguchi,

Morihiro Wada.

*PROGRAM II ? Open Television*

The increasing accessibility to video in the mid-tolate

1960s, and the novelty of the new medium, stoked

widespread interest among artists, activists, grassroots

organizations and the commercial industry alike

as both meditation and provocation. This program

features works by individual artists and collectives

such as Chris Burden, Allan Kaprow, Tatsuo Kawaguchi,

Saburo Muraoka, Nam June Paik & Jud Yakult, TVTV (Top

Value Television), Keiji Uematsu, Video Information

Center, Ko Nakajima, Shirley Clarke, Video Earth Tokyo,

Fujiko Nakaya, Toshio Matsumoto.

*_Tuesday, October 20_*

*PROGRAM III ? Body Acts*

In addition to documenting and archiving performances,

video technology was often used by artists to extend

physical and emotional gestures and as a way to challenge

traditional definitions of the art object. Artists

in this final program include John Baldessari, Mako

Idemitsu, Norio Imai, Joan Jonas, Hakudo Kobayashi,

William Wegman, Takahiko Iimura, James Byrne, Katsuhiro

Yamaguchi, Ante Bozanich, Paul McCarthy, Vito Acconci.

This program is organized by the Wallis Annenberg Photography Department 
and

is supported in part by the Ralph M. Parsons Fund.
