Chris Jan King an artist and conservator interested in historic and contemporary electronic video and media art. His blog and online discussion group Video Circuits explores early medium critical synthetic image making practices. He currently works as a time-based media art conservator at Tate in the UK where he has contributed to Tate’s Software-based Art Preservation project and research into the analysis and conservation of net art as part of Reshaping the Collectible: When Artworks Live in the Museum. Chris also helps convene Vector Hack, an international artist led festival devoted to the history & contemporary practice of experimental and analogue vector graphics. Based in Croatia now in its third edition, Vector Hack has helped surface research into often neglected areas of early new media with a special attention to media archaeological, practical and materialist approaches. He recently published "Archaeologies and Organologies: Toward an Alternative History of Early Synthetic Video and Image Processing Practices, 1939–1969" in Leonardo. The article is a history of the artistic uses of cathode-ray tubes focusing on the distortion of the television raster and the generation of synthetic images through the application of external signals.
