Synopsis:

Poemfield No. 1: COMPUTER ART SERIES is animated computer/graphic films. The series is called POEMFIELD. All of these films explore variations of poems, computer graphics, and in some cases combine live action images …Poemfield n°2: To create his 'Poemfields' (1965-71) series, VanDerBeek worked closely with computer scientist Ken Knowlton and the staff at Bell Labs. Each 'Poemfield' was adapted from poems by VanDerBeek, programmed on an IBM 7094 computer in black and white using a custom language known as BEFLIX, and colored after the fact by artists Robert Brown and Frank Olvey. Poemfield No. 2 features a soundtrack by jazz percussionist Paul Motian, known for his collaborations with Bill Evans. Poemfield No. 3. Poemfield No. 5. Poemfield No. 7. Moirage: A study in opticular illusions, pattern-super-impositions producing other patterns and illusions of three dimensionality. A thorough demonstration of the richness and varied qualities of moire patterns by the acknowledged scientist/artist Gerry Oster. Who Ho Ray No. 1: 'The shapes of sound filmed from a computer system that reproduces analog patterns from sounds. This pioneer work in animated computer mandalas is a lyrical, abstract song with analog rhythms.' Who Ho Ray No. 2. Ad Infinitum. Euclidean Illusions: A fantasy film of illusive geometry, changing and rebuilding itself by computer animation, unique visual magic done while artist-in-residence at NASA in Houston in conjunction with Richard Weinberg. Stan Vanderbeek: The Computer Generation: Stan VanDerBeek, experimental filmmaker at work with friend and computer expert Wade Shaw, at the sophisticated new (1972) computer at MIT Center for Advanced Visual Studies, and discussing the inevitable interaction of computers with artistic creativity. Clips from several VanDerBeek films.
