Computer Created
Sights And Sounds
After the ordeal of registration,
very few students at the University
would believe that a computer is
capable of creating anything worth
looking at or listening to Computer
Creations of Charlottesville, in
conjunction with Donald MacInnis
of the Music Department will
demonstrate the versatility of our
electrical administrators on the
nights of October 14, 15, 16, in the
Minor Hall Little Theater.
The show is billed as 'Aesthetic
Cybernetics', a multi-media presentation
of computer art and music

Donald MacInnis supplies the auditory
stimulus.

to show computer animated
movies, abstract and extreme closeup
photography, and slides of over
100 of his most significant computer
art drawings.

compositions on an ARP synthesizer.
