Abstract

"Analog computers have been much more successful as tools for the creative artist than digital computers. Analog computers are quite successfully used in music and more recently, in video art. Most of the current work in digital computer art suffers from a real lack of fluidity in control, which is why the work appears so sterile and mechanical. What this project has attempted is the creation of dynamic, flexible, user-programmable input devices and requisite control structures."
