Another fascinating figure from that era is Chi-Tien Liu, whose shop CTL Electronics worked on the tech side of a lot of video art projects. The New York Times wrote about him at <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/22/nyregion/video-art-conservation-ctl-electronics.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/22/nyregion/video-art-conser...</a><p>They now work on preserving many of these works, which often require CRTs and other now-vintage hardware.<p>CTL's newsletter and other publications from that era, like Radical Software and Guerrilla Television, have a 2600-style mix of tech advice and social theory. Nam June Paik contributed to many of them.<p>If you ever go to a museum and there is Nam June Paik exhibit on display, see if you can see the back. There are often interesting tidbits in the wiring and even sticky notes from him about how to set up and troubleshoot the art.
