Before YouTube, before “Reality Television,” before the Internet, artists and filmmakers pushed the boundaries of television at the TV LAB — an experimental division of Channel 13/WNET public television from 1972-1984. Supported initially by the Rockefeller Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts at the urging of Nam June Paik, who wanted a place for artists to create new imagery on television.
“Television can be better than television is.” This feature-length documentary shows how the TV LAB at Thirteen/WNET, New York (1972-84) changed the way we see television and the world.
