Godspeed, Chris Kelly (1978–2013).
EVL (Electronic Visualization Laboratory) located at the University of Illinois at Chicago is a frequent point of reference. I’ve been fortunate to intersect with several EVL alums over the years and to visualize several of their works as well.
This group photograph says it all—it’s an Electronic Visualization Event (EVE) in the mid-1970s, with live, real-time performances featuring computer graphics, video processing, and music.
Highly recommended: EVL’s online collection of MFA video projects
Inter FacePainter by Pox Party [jon.satrom + bensyverson] (2013). Boring is out, so download this now!
This is not just a tool; it’s an entirely new methodology for designing interfaces. Inter FacePainter liberates you and your users from device specific design and the draconian grid. Paint beautiful and expressive interfaces that reflect the human condition.
