Open Circuits was an important event in establishing video art in American museums and articulated a range of conflicting teloses for the medium, some which materialized (like local cable television) and others that remain unrealized. The conference proceedings were published in 1977 as \u003ci\u003eThe New Television: A Public\/Private Art\u003c\/i\u003e, and the radical design of the book reflected the conference’s utopian aims. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis two-part publication includes a facsimile of the long-out-of-print conference proceedings and new essays and discussions by over a dozen scholars and artists. The new scholarly texts and previously unpublished archival documents in \u003ci\u003eThe New Television\u003c\/i\u003e illuminate the network of institutional histories of video art, consider global televisual contexts and alternative critical approaches, and examine contemporary video art and its continued relevance from new perspectives.Rachel Churner is the director of the Carolee Schneemann Foundation.
