In the early 1970s, when most of America regarded TV as a means of beaming in The Brady Bunch, Doris Chase explored its use as an artist's medium. Temporarily renouncing painting, sculpture— and Seattle—to work as a video artist in New York, she pioneered the "video dance,'' performances altered on tape by such effects as color trails and solarization. Now Chase, the subject of a new book, Doris Chase: Artist in Motion (University of Washington Press), is breaking into new genres by developing a feature-film script and directing a documentary— "but video is still an art medium of the future."
