He was first exposed to abstract video art on Public Television through the analog effects of The Electric Company which made him realize “...that anything could be manipulated with video.”〔(Open Season interview )〕 Later, Bainbridge’s family moved to the exurbs of Erie, Pennsylvania where he met and began making drawings, plastic sculptures and food art with Philp R. Bonner. He attended General McLane High School, in Edinboro, PA, where he began collaborating with his fellow artist students, presenting several multimedia performances in the school incorporating Super 8mm film, 35mm slides, ½” Reel to reel and VHS video technology, along with performers, costumes, art objects, and music. At this time, Bainbridge also made comix, performance art and electronic music, showing at Erie area galleries and art spaces as well as non-art venues like swimming pools and other public spaces. After high school, Bainbridge moved to New York City and immersed himself in New York’s Lower East Side art scene while studying film and TV at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. As an undergrad, Bainbridge chose video as his primary medium and began presenting work at art spaces and clubs like Space 2B (aka “The Gas Station”) and Danceteria. Working at Rafik as an engineer, editor and salesperson introduced him to many artists, personalities, ideas and esthetics. At Rafik, Bainbridge worked on projects for Robin Byrd, Richard Kern and Boogie Down Productions’ “The Bridge is Over” video. In 1989, Bainbridge graduated from Tisch with a Bachelor in Fine Arts. That same year his short video “Betabet” was screened at Museum of Modern Art in the Film/Video Arts 21 program and he was awarded his first residency at Experimental Television Center. As part of this residency, Bainbridge began his first live video performance experiments with collaborators Philip R. “Bulk Foodveyor” Bonner, Jonathan “Naval Cassidy” Giles, Chad Strohmayer and Andrew Koontz.〔(One of these works “3 machines” is collected on Experimental TV Center’s DVD set at Electronic Arts Intermix )〕〔Benton C Bainbridge, Philip R. Bonner, Jonathan Giles, Andrew Koontz, Chad Strohmayer, ''We Machines'', Experimental Television Center, 1990, Digital video. This artwork can be found in the (Experimental Television Center's Repository ) in the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art, Cornell University Library〕 These early experiments convinced Bainbridge that video art can be made much as music: in real time, in collaboration, in public, via the free manipulation of all the tools of the medium. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Benton C Bainbridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
