A practicing artist outlines a career from poetry, script and print to multi-media and television, invoking Marshall McLuhan and citing equipment such as the Bolex reflex 16mm, Kodak Carousel, Sony porta-pack and Polaroid SX-70. They place USCO multi-media pieces Hubbub and We Are All One alongside work by Ken Dewey, Carolee Schneemann, Alan Kaprow and the Once Group as experiments in audience overload, multi-channel interaction and associative effects; they reference information theory and Norbert Wiener. They link the rise of an information industry—abilities to assemble, store, index, retrieve and program electromagnetically coded data—to artists working with information as programmable material using processing software and hardware.
