Description

John Lifton of London talks about his goal of realizing a cybernetic art work which will alter itself according to the spectators' response to it. He talks with Don Buchla, who was at the time of this recording (Dec. 20, 1972), adapting his synthesizers to computer control, Richard Friedman, composer and programmer who helped design the Buchla program, and Charles Amirkhanian. Also included in this program, Lifton’s companion, American painter Pamela Zoline, talks about her recent work on the meta-set "Things in the World".
