As you my kmih me am talking with Yasha Devil of a possible contribution to mEcce
Archimboldo' by providing computer assisted or computer jewated images of the humian face.
Imm am the topics me discussed:
Selection of Moving imps on videotape already produced by The Ymulkm
- Inclusion of Nam Juno Paik*s sepwit on Narshall NcLWm*s face from the uster tape
at Electronic Arts Intermix in No YorL
PmWirgi mid aseembling/editing
the
materials into the dwMapes.
- A possible commimion of am images specific to this shm
Ow VANestion of some, historically significant material (for example, the early synthesis
the
of a humn face and its expression nab at
University of Utah in the late sixties) .
We wArstand that there will be three chmmels of moving images on videotape, distributed
into multi-sonitor mralmant within the exhibit. Each chmmel pvgm is to be about
fbw min. lor4h so fteird4 Woody aid Paik meld haw four
