I recently had a computer drawing in a show in Baton Rouge LA. Also have
been accepted into another show in Cheney WA with a different piece.
Congratulations, Harry. Why not let us know before the shows, so people in
the area can go and see?

Betty I guess I didn't compose my message very well. The show in Cheney
Washington is in January of next year, not specific dates. The letter
mentioned my work will be included in a traveling show which will tour the
west in the next 2 years, will try to get more info on this. Hope there's
more interest in computer art in the fine art world. Harry.
I just received a brochure about the Dallas Video Festival '90, being held
this week at the Dallas Museum of Art. This is a four-day event, with an
admission charge of $18 for the full four days, though single day tickets
are available for less.
The first event on the program, tonight, (Thurs., Nov. 15) is called "Eine
Kleine Nacht Vid", and was done by Jim Pomeroy. (Jim teaches video
production at the University of Texas at Arlington, and uses Amigas for his
classes.) It says this particular production is "A recital for chamber
video ensemble, Jim Pomeroy, concertmaster. This 45-minute interactive
performance includes computer-processed video projection and pre-recorded
and improvisational pieces authored by members of the ensemble." I take
this to mean that it is a group of pieces done by Jim and his students.
I've seen some of their work, and it is excellent.
While most of the presentations in this show are purely video, there is one
section entitled:
THE AMIGA SHOW
"The advent of Commodore's Amiga computer has put graphic and animation
possibilities into the hands of the independent. This show reflects recent
work produced by artists around the country who use the Amiga as a creative
tool."
The presentations at this show come from all over the world, and the Amiga
is the only computer I saw even mentioned by name in the brochure. They
gave 1 1/2 hours to the all-Amiga presentations, and five minutes of that
time will be filled by an animation by a member of our computer club,
Marily Caughran. She did an animation about fish, incorporating some of
her hand-drawn fish of various types with real footage taken by another of
our members who is a scuba diver. The hand drawn fish and the fish on the
film are all combined in her video, and the piece has a complete plot.
The Dallas Museum of Art has a number of Amigas, which they use regularly
in their work.
