TELEVISION: ART AND INFORMATION
Asilomar Convention Center, Monterey California, California June 8 - 11, 1973

Sponsored by: The National Center for Experiments in Television
Funded by: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Washington, D.C.; The National Endowment for the Arts, Washington, D.C.

This seminar was convened to question television's relationship to reality. The discussions focused on two basic questions: given the time, space, and money constraints of the medium, what relationship is there between events as portrayed on television and physical reality; and what are the implications of television's mix of reality and fantasy for the picture of the world built up by television's viewers.
