1971 Nam June Paik was there first artist resident at Experimental TV Center.

2011 we were the last artist resident @ ETC.

This video was the last one made there, using a combination of our handmade synthesizer Sync Armonica and Paik’s Wobbulator

Looking toward release day with @waynerobertthomas.bsky.social, on @somnimage.bsky.social. Here is one more clip from the video for Kolmar Park. This small park was dedicated by the city of Chicago in the name of German poet Gertrud Kolmar, in fall 2022.

Looking toward release day (with @waynerobertthomas.bsky.social), here is another clip from the video for Kolmar Park. I filmed this in early February on a cold and windy day, and my first time visiting the park in winter. One more week until our release with @somnimage.bsky.social

Nearly 3 years ago, I went to Kolmar Park in Chicago for the first time, brought there by its connection to poet Gertrud Kolmar; I spent time and did some sound recording. Here are some stills for an upcoming video, and project soon to come with @waynerobertthomas.bsky.social
