Unbound. Condition: Very Good. Periodical. Folio. 26pp. Quarter-fold newsprint in blue ink. Small stamps on front wrap, light toning on rear cover, small nicks and tears at edges, very good. A journal started by Beryl Korot, Phyllis Gershuny, and Ira Schneider in 1970 (soon after low-cost portable video equipment became available) "as a service to alternate television people". The journal ran for 11 issues and dealt with videos and other technologies as a tool for social change and making people familiar with the technologies that are controlling their lives. Articles include "Cybernetic Guerilla Warfare," "Alternatives for Alternate Media II," "Tentative Design for a Flexible Video Environment," "Design for a Human Porta-Pak," "Videotape Versus Film," "This Cassette Thing," "Dial Access Information Retrieval Systems," "Citizen Sampling Simulations: A Method for Involving the Public in Social Planning," and more. Also includes a videotape distribution and exchange plan which they hope to be the genesis of an alternate television network. One of the only periodicals devoted to video in the early 70s.…

New York: Raindance Corporation, 1971. Folio (folded: 36 × 30 cm, unfolded: 58 × 36 cm). Original pictorial self-wrappers; [1], 26, [1] pp. with numerous illustrations. Signs of wear; small edge tears and creases; wrappers somewhat toned; few pages with handwritten annotations; else good or better. Third issue of the "most important video journal" (Wulf Herzogenrath). Iconically, the cover of the first issue shows a computer-generated image and thus evokes the dawn of a new age in which media are no longer structured by the hierarchical relationship between sender and receiver, but by a plastic, dynamically changing network. The subtitle of the first issue already makes it clear what the New York group "Raindance Corporation" of artists, writers and video artists was all about: The establishment of an "Alternate Television Movement". And the editorial of the first issue states that the aim would be to "design and implement alternate information structures which transcend and reconfigure the existing ones." The lead article in the third number was Paul Ryan's essay "Cybernetic guerrilla warfare". Contrary to what the title might initially suggest, Ryan is not interested in a cybernetic guerrilla war. "Nobody with any wisdom is looking for a straight out fight. We have come to understand that in fighting you too easily become what you behold." Instead, Ryan thinks about how social consciousness could change as a result of the findings of cybernetics. The concept of feedback is crucial for Ryan. Networking and free exchange, in which there is no longer a distinction between active sender and passive receiver, is intended to set deadlocked structures in motion. Ryan sees the portable video camera as the "weapon" in this "guerrilla war", which is supposed to be fundamentally different from violent, bloody acts of revolution. However, it is not just the video that is supposed to bring about change, but "What is critical is to develop an infrastructure to cable in situations where feedback and relevant access routes can he set up as part of the process." Other contributions include: Willard Van de Bogart ("Laser Light in Video Space"), Van Ftergiotis ("Dial Access Information Retrieval Systems"), Frank Gillette ("Aspects of Data"), Louis Jaffe ("Videotape versus Film"), Stuart Umpleby ("Citizen Sampling Simulations: A Method for Involving the Public in Social Planning"), Gene Youngblood ("Cathode-Ray Tube Videotronics"). The idea of the network was primarily based on a "techno-anarchist" critique of the structures of the mass media. In contrast, video was interpreted as an "egalitarian" medium that provided the individual with an affordable means of production. Thus, in addition to theoretical discussions on the ideas of thinkers such as Gregory Bateson, Buckminster Fuller and Marshall McLuhan, numerous practical contributions on video production with inexpensive camera equipment are also printed.
