The Elayne Zalis Video Studies Archive at the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art, Cornell University, is an extensive collection of study tapes, rare catalogues, and correspondence that documents the history of US video art.

I donated my personal collection of video art research and tapes to the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art at Cornell University. The collection reflects my studies of video art in the late 1980s and early '90s and contains many primary documents and out-of-print catalogues. I hope scholars, students, and media artists will find this material useful.

I discovered an online inventory of videos in the Artists Television Network (ATN) Archive at the University of Iowa, where I earned my PhD. I worked with this collection -- and with the extensive collection of related paper documents -- while I was a grad student and created a catalogue of my own. I often wondered what happened to those videos. I'm glad they've been preserved and made

“California Video” runs from March 15 to June 8, 2008, at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. I’ve taken a special interest in the exhibition because it was instigated by the Getty’s acquisition of the Long Beach Museum of Art’s video collection, which I managed in the mid-1990s as LBMA’s video archivist. The impressive show “reveals the variety of artistic experimentation that has occurred in the

The University of Southern California (USC) sponsored the 24/7 DIY Video Summit this weekend, February 8–10. On Saturday afternoon I was able to catch the plenary session, “Envisioning the Future of DIY [Do-It-Yourself],” moderated by Howard Rheingold. Other panelists included Henry Jenkins, Joi Ito, John Seely Brown, and Yochai Benkler.Because I’ve studied independent video movements that

The quartet of books that I've recently published (Arella's Repertoire, Vagabond Scribe [Leah's Backstory], Video-Graphic Alchemy: Transforming "Dear Diary," and VirtualDayz: Remediated Visions & Digital Memories) complement my studies of the media arts and provide a cultural, intellectual, and creative context for the issues I plan to address in this blog.

While studying video art history and criticism in the late 1980s, I acquired a personal collection of tapes, catalogues, books, and assorted documentation, material that provided background for a dissertation I completed in 1993. Since then I’ve managed to keep most of those archival texts—and several notebooks—which have traveled with me from the Midwest to Southern California, and from one
