Footage created on April 4, 1977 in preparation for the Interactive Electronic Visualization Event. Consists of two abstract video pieces, the second of which is an early version of “The Poem,” by Barbara Sykes, Tom DeFanti, and Drew Browning. Held in the rotunda of the University of Illinois Circle Campus, Science and Engineering South building, Electronic Visualization Lab faculty, researcher, technologists, artists, and collaborators from the Art Institute of Chicago created an interactive, real-time visualization experience. IEVE combined computer graphics created using Tom DeFanti’s GRASS language, video image processing produced using the Sandin Image Processor, and electronic, synthesized music composed and performed by Robert Snyder.
