Experimental television

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Experimental television is the field that studies and applies the audio-visual and artistic creation within television media.

The experimental television creates a media with its own operation system and applies to the creativity and the experimentation to develop as much its contents as its forms in which these are presented. Therefore it investigates other languages and formats possible, and simultaneously examines conventional television media.

As a televising structure experimental TV must respond to the capacity of permanent transformation and continuous development, as much conceptually as technically. A structure of these characteristics can produce and diffuse its contents within the television environment, and its broadcast is through radio frequency channels that can be received with domestic TV set. The experimental televising expression is based on the creativity, the innovation and the experimentation with subjects related to the audio-visual creation, multidisciplinary activities, possibilities of interactivity with the audience and video synthesizers The difference between an experimental television and a conventional television begins with not being part of communication corporations nor basing its criteria on commercial interests. As experimental television is also understood as a history of the technological development of the inventions related to the television from its origins to today that somehow haven't succeeded as a standard format like mechanical television.
