Television as a medium has (much like radio did for audio arts) been influential beyond its content the method of reception, the the qualities of the images and the collective experience have effected video and visual art for anyone who came in to contact with it. It's interesting then that the medium supplanting (or maybe incorporating) television (the internet) allows us to look back at it's history and machinery. If you are interested in this sort of thing then I urge you to visit the
Early Television Museum website
and If you live in London there is always
The British Vintage Wireless and Television Museum in West Dulwich which I have never been to but always wanted to check out
I'm working on a fuller list of interesting TV history websites and museums as there are loads but ill save that for a later post when it's more complete!
