Eigenwelt: Thanking inventors who dug up schematics, dormant documents, and resuscitating their own machines for exhibition
“We are also completely indebted to Ralph Hocking and Sherry Miller Hocking of the Experimental Television Center, Binghamton, for … the assembly of the majority of the hardware and their careful attention to the myriad details of both hardware and archival information…
“Of course we are especially grateful for the special efforts and cooperation of those inventors who personally excavated their past by agreeing to be interviewed, and by digging up schematics, photos, and dormant documents and, in many cases, by resuscitating their own machines. Thank you Stephen Beck, David Behrman, Don Buchla, Bob Diamond, Bill Etra, Lee Harrison, Bill Hearn, David Jones, Don McArthur, Nam June Paik, Steve Rutt, Dan Sandin, Jeff Schier, Eric Siegel, Glen Southworth, and Aldo Tambellini. We deeply regret that during this process we were never able to locate Shuya Abe and George Brown.”
