Hello all -

I am a long-time lurker as well. I have learned so much from this list 
and have the utmost respect for all of the members, some of whom I am 
fortunate enough to know personally. The list has helped me to explore 
more in-depth subjects I am already familiar with, and to learn of 
practices and theories which are new to me.

Sherry Miller Hocking has worked since 1972 with the Experimental 
Television Center, which offered residencies to over 1500 international 
media artists before closing in 2011. For almost 25 years the Center 
also provided grants and other funding opportunities to individual 
artists. In 1993 she designed and continues to direct the Video History 
Project, an online informational research database for media 
professionals, educators, and media programmers as well as the general 
public.

She has been active in the area of moving-image preservation for many 
years. She organized the /Video History: Making Connections/ conference 
(1998, Syracuse University), which brought together over 250 pioneering 
practitioners and contemporary artists working in new media and 
interactive technologies, as well as /Looking Back – Looking Forward: A 
Preservation Symp/osium (2002, New York City), a two-day working 
symposium on moving image preservation, in partnership with Mona 
Jimenez, Independent Media Arts Preservation and Bay Area Video 
Coalition.In 2007 she was a panelist *IMAP Electronic Media Preservation 
Symposium: History of Video Art: New York Pioneers *held at the 2007 
annual AMIA conference in Rochester, NY. This resulted in the formation 
of Migrating Media, a coalition of media groups focused around 
digitization of video collections in Upstate NY.

Currently she is co-editor of /The Emergence of Video Processing Tools: 
Television Becoming Unglued /(Intellect/University of Chicago Press, 
2013) with Kathy High of Renssalear Polytechnic Institute and Mona 
Jimenez of New York University. Contributors include Timothy Murray, 
Michael Century, LoVid,Christiane Paul and Paul Toolin, Lenka Dolanova 
and many others.
