Progetto in collaborazione con The Educational Research Institute of B.C. The Canadian Radio-Television & Telecommunications Commission and The Samuel and Saidye Bronfman Family Foundation. Con illustrazioni disegni e fotografie in bianco e nero. Allegato anche il foglio di "Errata&Addenda". Cm 29x19. pp. 140. Molto buono Very Good. . Michael Goldberg è stato un pioniere del video e una figura fondamentale nella sua diffusione iniziale a Vancouver e in Giappone. Amico di Fujiko Nakaya attraverso l'organizzazione E.A.T. Experiments in Art & Technology è arrivato in Giappone per la prima volta nel 1971 grazie a una borsa di studio del Canada Council e nel 1972 insieme a Nakaya e Katsuhiro Yamaguchi ha organizzato la prima mostra di videoarte in Giappone. Tenutasi presso l'edificio Sony a Ginza Tokyo la mostra-workshop era intitolata Video Communication: Do It Yourself Kit e sarebbe diventata il catalizzatore per la formazione del collettivo video Video Hiroba. Goldberg ha anche insegnato come docente ospite all'Università di Tsukuba nel 1980. Oggi è ancora attivo come produttore e regista di documentari e altre forme video attraverso la sua società International Videoworks Inc. "Grazie al suo costo relativamente basso il video in formato ridotto si è diffuso rapidamente nei paesi industrializzati occidentali. Versatile e facile da imparare il portapack ha alimentato il concetto di disponibilità e condivisione di questa risorsa da parte di molte persone con punti di vista e interessi diversi. Ciò cambia radicalmente il processo televisivo sottraendo il mezzo dalle mani dei professionisti e creando un nuovo specchio della società . La tecnologia video è ancora in rapida evoluzione e sono consapevole che alcuni dei contenuti di questo manuale diventeranno obsoleti entro il 1984. Vi invito a trarre il massimo da questo libro. Penso che possa essere utile in due modi: come “lettura da bagno” prendetelo e leggetene un po' quando ne avete voglia e come manuale di riferimento". dall'introduzione di Michael Goldberg. "Vivevo a Montréal e alla fine degli anni '60 andavo a New York ogni tanto per visitare le gallerie. Andai alla "prima mostra di videoarte" a cui partecipava Nam June Paik. Paik aveva una sedia da giardino in ferro battuto con un fondo rotondo in vetro e una piccola TV in bianco e nero rivolta verso l'alto che trasmetteva il telegiornale. Conoscete questa storia Dovevi sederti sulla sedia a cavalcioni e guardare in basso il volto del telegiornale. Ti sentivi come se stessi cagando sulla TV. Mi è piaciuto tantissimo! Chiesi alla Galleria se potevano presentarmi a Paik. Mi chiamarono e lui mi invitò. Da allora lo incontro a intermittenza anche se non posso dire che fossimo amici." Michael Goldberg.

Three appendices: "Field Guide to the Pacific Coastal Sasquatch" "Summary List of Southeast Alaskan Reports" "Summary List of B. C. Coastal Reports." Maps. Bibliography. Index.
