The
New Media EmergesBefore all this technology stuff I did artwork
"the old fashioned way".
In the early 70's that included advertising art, theatrical lighting and film animation.
Then I discovered video, and spent the rest of the 70's working with video and cable TV - mostly on community -oriented projects, art pieces and documentaries.

Spotlight Operator & Roadie: Spring/Summer of 1971
By
the early 70's the runaway counter-cultural musical
hit "Hair" had dozens of
productions around the world. Karma, luck - or whatever
- I got to hang around an international
cast of hotties. In Amsterdam,
no less.
We were Young. We were Thin. We Had lots of Hair. Lived on a houseboat
on the Prinsensgracht. Can't remember a lot of the
rest, but it sure was fun.

I'd always been a good graphic artist, but this experience helped guide me towards electric, multidimensional performance media - video and eventually digital environments.
