  • ATVOD Working Group on Access Services (WGAS)
    1 ATVOD Working Group on Access Services (WGAS) Report prepared by Nick Tanton Introduction The perceived ease with which viewers can now get access services with linear TV in the UK 1 makes it hard for users/customers to understand why on-demand services generally lag behind in accessibility. The end-to-end chain (content acquisition, versioning, scheduling, delivery and presentation) for on-demand generally differs substantially from that of linear TV. Some processes are (or could be) the same or similar whilst others are not; some also may apply to one on-demand service provider but not to another. In particular the species (and sometimes generational variants) of end-user equipment are diverse and some may not have been designed a priori with accessibility in mind. For on-demand content there are no insuperable barriers to providing subtitles for Hard-of-Hearing people or Audio Description for Blind and Partially Sighted users. However there are various practical technical and commercial challenges which a regulator or service provider may need to recognise and to address if these access services are to be made available in a realisable and usable form to the end-user. For any particular service provider, the mix and impact of these challenges depends on the delivery platform(s) on which they have a presence, their role within a particular delivery chain and their business model. The content of this report represents a distillation of understanding from within the ATVOD Working Group on Access Services (WGAS) and input from individual companies who have participated in those discussions.

    TONY CONRAD VIDEO – UND DARÜBER HINAUS Der US-amerikanische Künstler Anthony (Tony) Conrad (*1940) ist seit über 50 Jahren eine feste Größe im Kunstbetrieb. Gefeiert als TABEA LURK Musiker, Filmemacher, Video- und Performance-Künstler gelingt sein Durchbruch 1966 mit dem Experimentalfi lm “The Flicker”. Neben den Filmarbeiten (inkl. “Yellow Movies”) fi nden die soge- nannten “String Performances” (Solovionline) große Anerkennung. Sie erinnern an das Theatre of Eternal Music (1962–1967) und wurden von namhaften Autoren aufgearbeitet. Die vorliegende Monografi e konzentriert sich daher auf die ca. 70 Videoarbeiten des Künstlers, die ab 1977 entstanden und noch nicht wissenschaftlich untersucht wurden. Auf die Erinnerung an Eckpunkte des künstlerischen Werdegangs (Videografi scher Blick auf die Künstlervita) folgt der Übergang vom materialis- tischen Experimentalfi lm zum videografi schen Bilddenken im Um- feld der Appropriation Art (Video als letzte Aufforderung). Die Refl exion der telematischen Kultur der 1980er Jahre hinterfragt das Wechselspiel zwischen (Video-)Kunst und Gesellschaft (Video TONY CONRAD: VIDEO als Fernsehkritik). Das letzte Kapitel (Video im Spannungsfeld der Musik) kehrt zum Beginn der künstlerischen Karriere Tony Conrads zurück. Die Kunstwissenschaftlerin Tabea Lurk hat nach ihrem Volontariat am ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe von 2006– LURK TABEA 2015 primär an der Hochschule der Künste Bern geforscht und gelehrt.
