History / Bio: This brochure documents an early experimental multimedia performance collective emerging from the Stanford University arts and technology environment during the late 1970s or early 1980s. The project combined choreography, projected photographic imagery, synthesized sound, and live performance during a period when artists increasingly merged computing, video, music technology, and conceptual dance. The reference to CCRMA is particularly notable. Founded at Stanford in 1975, the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics became one of the most influential institutions in electronic and computer-generated music. Michael McNabb was among the early composers associated with digitally synthesized music and computer-assisted composition during this formative period. The brochure also reflects the broader California experimental arts movement tied to multimedia theater, performance art, minimalism, postmodern dance, and early electronic music culture connected to figures such as Brian Eno and David Byrne.
