The Art Style Computer Processing System Bibliography

Describes the art-style computer processing system, a centrally located computer with remote controls designed to manipulate commercial television broadcasts into rule-governed period visions derived from historical schools of painting; the system encodes numerous movements including Rayonism, Cubism and Impressionism. It gives a usage example of processing a network news broadcast through Rayonism and cites Michel Larionov and Nathalie Gontcharova; Larionov taught at the University of Moscow and published the Rayonist manifesto in 1913. The system is stochastic and intended for integration into cable television, with components under development by technological artists worldwide.
