Restricted: For research use. 520 The National Center for Experiments in Television was the first of the TV labs established in the late 1960s. In its earliest conception, the NCET was the Experimental TV Project, housed at KQED. The principal impetus behind the Experimental TV Project was to provide equipment access to artists who would explore the material crux of this overly commercialized medium, simultaneously developing alternative visual languages. From September 14, 2000 to November 15, 2000, the Pacific Film Archive exhibited video artifacts from the National Center for Experiments in Television (NCET). The centerpiece of Videospace was Don Hallock's 1973 video installation The Videola. Originally exhibited at SFMOMA, Hallock's video sculpture is a large horizontal cone made of reflecting mylar. When a monitor is placed at the small end of the cone, the image emitted is transformed into a luminous orb. The kaleidoscopic effect is heightened by The Videola's size-- yhe depth of the cone is eight feet, the large aperture approximately five feet across. What the audience encounters is a prismatic, ever-changing sphere. The Videola emphasizes an important aspect of the NCET's electronic explorations, that of encouraging visual pleasure from the primal materials of the medium. 538 VHS NTSC. 590 PFA 0500-01-13452. |aCONDITION NOTE: Record created 2008/ 11/18 by sw. 650 0 Video art. 655 7 Personal/independent works.|2mim 655 7 Television.|2mim 700 1 Hallock, Don. 710 2 National Center for Experiments in Television (NCET) 710 2 Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. 935 GLADN51263173 941 0 PFA 0500-01-13452.
