[Pantomation was a very early tracking chromakey system from the 1970s. Originally intended for music scoring, the system was adapted to other styles of performance art. While crude by modern standards, the concept was decades ahead of its time; it can reasonably be considered an early forebear of systems like Microsoft's Kinect.]

Black.TV
[ BLACK TV is Aldo Tambellini's best-known film, part of a large intermedia project about American television. It is an artist's sensory perception of the violence of the world we live in, projected through a television tube. Tambellini presents it subliminally in rapid-fire abstractions in which such horrors as Robert Kennedy's assassination, murder, infanticide, prize fights, police brutality at Chicago, and the war in Vietnam are out-of-focus impressions of faces and events ]

Lucid
"The interface by Boris Vitázek uses kinect as input via vvvv. The piece represents the first version of software that Boris plans to evolve into a more complex type of performance. Boris also sees it as something that could be a musical instrument which includes a combination of object and body control."

Black Is (1965)
Aldo Tambellini is a video and film pioneer. This experimental film was made entirely without the use of a camera.
"Working directly on 16mm ... I scratched, perforated, drew,used acid and other substances on the surface of the leader. ... The movement of the projector (30 frames per second) created the animated rhythm of the film. To get down to the essentials: light and motion." - A. Tambellini

Falling
" "Dreams" was made in collaboration with Barry Bermange (who originally recorded the narrations). Bermange put together The Dreams (1964), a collage of people describing their dreams, set to a background of electronic sound. Dreams is a collection of spliced/reassembled interviews with people describing their dreams, particularly recurring elements. The program of sounds and voices attempts to represent, in five movements, some sensations of dreaming: running away, falling, landscape, underwater, and colour. "

Computers in Action
The clip is from the ABC Children's Education show "Computers in Action" which was showing kids the amazing things computers could do at the time. I think the segment after mine was about traffic lights.

| A.B.H.o.t.Minimoog.|
In this first installment documenting the journey of the Minimoog synth through the 1970's, we explore the musicians and the people that were instrumental in bringing the instrument to prominence. We also sit with one of Moog Music's earliest engineers, Bill Hemsath, who recalls the process of the Minimoog's birth and sheds some light on what sets the Moog synthesizer apart from other analog synths.
