Art: Electronic Arts Intermix
>While in NYC...
Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) is a leading nonprofit resource for video art and interactive media. Founded in 1971, EAI's core program is the distribution and preservation of a major collection of new and historical media works by artists. EAI also offers educational services, viewing access, exhibitions and public programs. The Online Catalogue is a comprehensive resource on the 175 artists and 3,000 works in the EAI collection. The searchable database includes artists' biographies, QuickTime excerpts, research materials, artists' Web projects, and online ordering
a selecton of short video excerpts (Quicktime)
for example...
Nam June Paik: Global Groove, 1973, Video Still
EAI on Nam June Paik
~There's not enough streaming free video here. And I don't think any of the 77 librairies in my local library system will have for inter-library loan videos or dvds of anyone of these. I'll never be able to misunderstand, misinterpret, be miffed or mystified by these artists. They can't be that important otherwise their work would be easier to see?
After searching my local library system with the names from the list above, I found a catalog from Nam June Paik's show at the Whitney Museum; a number of photo books by Cindy Sherman; a dvd with 'short films' by Chris Marker and one copy of the 2 1/2 hour dvd "Art 21: Art in the 21st Century" featuring Mike Kelley, Chris Marker, Charles Atlas and Eleanor Antin (with 17 other artists).
