A live networked celebration of video art pioneer, Bill Etra, Saturday October 7th, 2017. Over 40 guests from 8 countries present a variety of performances to honor this influential inventor. Bill Etra’s work changed the face of video forever and on October 7th, Anton Marini, Benton C Bainbridge, and Tom Zafian, along with guests both near and far will commemorate Etra through a 12-hour visual performance. Credited with helping to make video an art form through the invention of the Rutt-Etra synthesizer, Etra made seminal works alongside pioneers like Nam Jun Paik.
