Peer Bode: Open Fields

This unique artist book centers around video recordings made in the early 1970s by artist Peer Bode during a period of experimentation with synthesized video tools and techniques at the Experimental Television Center in Binghamton and Owego, NY. Bode was among the first artists to explore the potential of the video signal as an artistic form.
Peer Bode: Open Fields reflects upon Bode's earliest inquiries and inventions with video processing, and includes excerpts from his personal archive of ephemera, notebooks and recordings. The book includes an essay by artist Sherry Miller Hocking and transcripts from a conversation between Bode and Hank Rudolph, co-founder of Signal Culture.
