Archaeologies and Organologies: Towards an alternative history of early synthetic video and image processing practices 1939–1969

Abstract This article focuses on the early history of two related techniques deployed within artistic contexts; the distortion of pre-existing television raster images and the generation of synthetic images through the application of external signals to cathode-ray tube deflection systems. Organology and media archaeological techniques are used to begin to trace an additional technical history of these complex visual instruments.
