The dotMov Museum of the Moving Image

.mov is the name of a moving image file but also an imperative to construct a lasting monument and archive for early cybernetic innovators histories and art to be made available for public use.

We are beginning discussions with the remaining pioneers of early analogue video to obtain and make available to the public some of the earliest electronic inventions in image generation. Initially we'll compile a list of early equipment and eventually we'll assemble these together.

We'd like to show the public working representations of what these machines did in the context of the kind of artwork they produced and the story of the pioneers of the form. We hope to tell the stories of people like Woody and Steina Vasulka, John Hopkins (Hoppy) and later originators such as Peter Donnebauer.
