In this interactive installation, three viewers are able to manipulate components of a computer-generated image using multi-axis joysticks positioned in front of a projection screen. The image is a half octagonal cylinder that is divided into three

Moving Movie #1 (1977) was an inexpensive modest study made at MIT. I was obsessed with why movie cameras move and movie projectors don’t, and filmed the Boston landscape with a Super8 movie camera mounted on a slowly rotating turntable. The film is

A frame from the stereo animation A Volume of 2- Dimensional Julia Sets. This animation (like most computer animations) took up to 30 minutes per frame to render, 54,000 times slower than real time. In the early 1980s (with the exception of space
