1997?

In the late 1990′s I participated in the live video scene, making material with generative processes using my own programs built with LISP, Max/Msp/Nato etc. I showed this stuff in online communities along with people like META or 242.pilots, and during live events with Pole, Mikael Stavöstrand, Andreas Tilliander and others. Much of these visuals were made exploiting memory bugs and glitches in the early versions of Quicktime. Mainstream art consumers never made contact with this type of material, as you had to be in the know of where to download it onto your computer and how to open the files the right way, or be at the right shows. In the meantime, the operating systems were updated, computers replaced, the software redundant. The most commercially viable artistic attempts were copied by iTunes visualizer. What remains are fragments on a hard drive that cannot be connected to a modern computer. Consider this a documentation of a particular window of opportunity in the history of art and computing.
