Space Center Performance - 1983

In 1983 I was granted a residency at the Space Center in Alamagordo, NM near White Sands. My project was to create a multi-media performance in the planetarium dome using lasers, videos in a bank, a talking computer, and an electronic keyboard. The theme was space or related to manned space exploration, as interpreted by an artist. In these photos you see components of the performance and this first image shows the heavens projected on the dome as I (in the white light area) work with the computer speech while a video of a shuttle plays in the background. The following image shows me at the keyboard followed by images of the video. The technical script is included.

Look how old the computer equipment looks!

Copy Art Billboard in Ohio - 1981

After making two billboards in San Francisco using copy machines I was invited to be an artist-in-residence at the Image Resource Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The challenge was to make a color billboard this time using the color Xerox 6500.

I taught workshops in copy art, artibooks and making billboards; made a new edition of artistamps and other works in addition to the billboard. This was on the way across the US on my 81 World Tour to Europe. I met Harley during this stop.
