*** NOTE: The second half of his episode is very visual, Steve talks us through a bunch of slides, so you may want to watch that part on YouTube instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ubbs9AHsZcY ***

The Cathode Ray Podcast is a series with CRT shaman Steve from Retro Tech and Louis Zezeran from Zez Retro. Together they talk about CRTs, TVs and other retro gaming topics.

In this episode Steve takes us on a fascinating tour of the world of CRT art. We tend to think retro gaming is the last bastion of our beloved CRTs however, these units have been used in visual art exhibitions since their inception. Steve is doing some upcoming consulting and maintenance work for a large museum with an extensive collection of CRTs. In preparation for that work, he created this presentation looking at some of the most notable uses of CRTs in visual arts in the second half of the 20th century.

We start with a catch up on the latest news about the MiSTer S-Video cores. Mike Simone has finalised his open source dongle design and Antonio Villena has made a limited release of his own adapters from his online shop in Spain. After this we get into Steve's presentation on the history of CRTs in visual arts.
