Harkness A/V and Monkey Town are proud to present an evening of
computer-generated video by pioneering artist Lillian Schwartz
and
"inheritor" of the tradition, in his NYC debut, Nate
Boyce.
Lillian Schwartz,
in her tenure as a film/graphics consultant to Bell
Laboratories from 1969 to 2002, developed a body of visionary
techniques for the creation of computer-generated art. Her works
combine these technologies with electronic music and abstract
aesthetics to enable some of the most groundbreaking work of its
kind,
influencing the fields of gaming, special effects and virtual
reality,
in addition to newer generations of video artists.
You can read more about Lillian Schwartz on her web site,
http://www.lillian.com
Nate Boyce is from
San Francisco, where he uses newish software (Jitter,
Maya) to nostalgic effect. His videos and installations maximize
(in
his words) "perceptual anomaly" and "retinal fatigue"
to create a mood
of general disorientation. He collaborates with acid-noise-electro
duo,
Eats Tapes, and is part of video trio, Phase
Chancellor, featuring
members of Matmos.
You can see his video for Pteryd by Eats Tapes here:

Both artists will be in attendance to present their work. We are
extremely excited to pair an exciting newcomer to our video scene
(Boyce) with an esteemed, established filmmaker such as Lillian
Schwartz.
Selected Lillian Schwartz Films are screened courtesy of the
Lillian
Feldman Schwartz Collection, Ohio State University Library and
Foundation.
