Biographical / Historical

The Experimental Television Center (ETC) was founded in Owego, N.Y. in 1971 as an outgrowth of a media access program established by Ralph Hocking at Binghamton University in 1969, to provide support and services to the media arts community. ETC's mission was to encourage the creation of work using new electronic media technologies; to encourage an informed appreciation of media art; and to help honor our independently created moving-image heritage by initiating projects and participating in partnerships which address the needs for research, education and preservation, and place independent works within a larger cultural context.
