Calculated Movements

(1985) Calculated Movements by Larry Cuba is an example of early video art using software developed at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL). The video has a minimalist/ambient original sound piece.
In the 1970s the computer graphics for the first Star Wars film (1977) was created by Larry Cuba at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) (at the time known as the Circle Graphics Habitat) at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Calculated Movements is a sample of Cuba's later work.

It's interesting to me how identifiably from the 1980s this is. I find myself wondering if the state of video technology at time was reflecting the aesthetic sensibility at the time, or informing it.

You know, I've gone to a few "digital arts" events and a lot of time I find my self thinking these people are just re-inventing the rave and or demo scene...

Probably the first "Demo" ever :-) this should be on pouet!

I have similar thoughts. But that would definitely not be the first one. Check out "Synchromy" by Norman McLaren (1971)

There's also older stuff by Norman McLaren in the 1940s such as DOTS

It keeps looking like it's about to form into a logo, but it never does.
