hello Sherry

we are very lucky on empyre to be joined by Sherry Miller Hocking + 
others who have been involved in the fields we are discussing this 
month from the early moments to the present. [engaging/facilitating] 
the conversations possible between people who participate in these 
fluid + ever shifting [topologies/moments/movements] is a core goal 
of criticalartware. the chance to connect this approach to empyre is 
part of what excites us about this month's discussion + we look fwd 
to the development of these [interwoven/interstitial] discourses.

as you all probably know, Sherry Miller Hocking is the Assistant 
Director of the Experimental Television Center, Project Director of 
the Video History Project, educator, curator + organizer of media 
arts events for over 30 years. the Video History Project is connected 
through the uri above or also:
http://www.experimentaltvcenter.org/history/

+ is an amazing + participatory archive concieved of, created + 
maintained by Sherry Miller Hocking, Mona Jimenez + Dave Jones. 
criticalartware had the opportunity to discuss the Video History 
Project w/Sherry when we [interviewed/conversed w/] her @ ETC. 
Sherry's interview is available on criticalartware as text, audio or 
video streams.

criticalartware also had the opportunity to [meet/talk w/] Mona 
Jimenez when she was in Chicago to interview Dan Sandin. Mona 
Jimenez's current [research/residency] "Artist Instrumentation 
Database" @ the Daniel Langlois Foundation involves "the cataloguing 
of instruments, electronic and digital machines, and other prototypes 
developed by or for artists" + the development of a database of this 
research. this work is focused on instrumentation by the Vasulkas, 
the Rutt/Etra Scan Processor + the Sandin Image Processor.

these two incredible [initiatives/projects], the Video History 
Project + the Artist Instrumentation Database, are both also 
experimental archives + mappings of the [present/past] which are 
extremely relevant to the discourses we are developing this month 
here on empyre + [in/on/through] criticalartware's ongoing efforts.
