The book presents stories of the development of early video tools and systems designed and built by artists and technologists during the late 1960s and 70s, and how that history of collaborations among inventors, designers and artists has affected contemporary tool-makers. Her co-edited book The Emergence of Video Processing Tools: Television Becoming Unglued, with Sherry Miller Hocking of the Experimental Television Center, and Mona Jimenez of the Moving Image Preservation Program at NYU, on the history of video imaging tools will be published by Intellect Books (UK) in 2013. This text is the culmination of seven years of research into the histories of video imaging tool production in the USA. High is also a scholar of the history of video technologies, systems and video art, and has a background in both writing and publishing (see for reference to a video art journal, FELIX, founded and edited by High in 1990s-2003). These projects have allowed High to investigate areas such as decomposition and the immune system. Her most recent art works include a video documentary about green or natural burials, entitled Death Down Under and a performance/visual arts project called Blood Wars that uses white blood cells to test an individual’s strengths (see ). In the last ten years she has become interested in working with living systems, animals and art, considering the social, political and ethical dilemmas of biotechnology and surrounding industries. She produces videos, photographs, writings, performances and installations about gender and technology, empathy, and animal sentience. Kathy High, Professor of Video and New Media, is an interdisciplinary artist working in the area of technology, science and art.
