New York State Council on the Arts Media: $1,200,000 MEDIA PROGRAM Director: John Giancola Program Analyst: Arthur Tsuchiya Media ProgramThe Media Program was 11 years old in 1982-83. Its constituents have been uniquely concerned with the production and exhibition of the electronic arts. Because the field is "emerging," the policy of the program over the last few years has been to spread support over a diverse spectrum of activities, allowing for achievement at various levels. Of the program's allocation of $1,270,000 (which includes $70,000 in federal funds), $293,247 was directed toward production and post-production of audio and video art, documentary, and narrative projects. Substantial levels of support were awarded for exhibition, distribution and services. The program also re-initiated substantial regrant support for institutions to match Council funds on behalf of individual artists. Programs that bring artists to working facilities were also continued so that artists could have access to specialized tools. It was the first year of funding of writing on the subject of video art. Thirteen writing awards were made on a broad range of subjects from investigations of new narrative, to histories and genealogies of the video movement itself. It was also the first year for funding preservation in video. It was the final year of funding for the Arts Programming for Television category, with a $50,000 award going to Amoskeag, a collaboration in literature and video between artists Corrine Jacker and Dan Reeves. In the coming years, the program will continue to support collaborations between video arts and other arts through its Media Process funding category.
