Firstly, James Whitney's Lapis from 1966: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzniaKxMr2g Secondly, a lionk to 'Oscilloclast', "a growing body of work [in which] [i]mage and sound are delivered as a singular, dense experience. Electricity is shaped into audio wave forms of harmonic oscillation and noise, which also drive the video emissions of hue, tone and rhythm." http://chris.musgrave.org/projects/oscilloclast/index.html A couple more oscilloscope art links, this time from http://aeportal.blogspot.com/2008/03/motion-graphics-1961.html , which also links to a springboard post about “Visual music and motion graphics” ( http://aeportal.blogspot.com/2007/10/visual-music-and-motion-graphics.html ), a phrase coined by John Whitney to describe the mechanisms he used to create works such as Catalog (and also used as the named of his company).

Following the related video links, I aslo came across a piece by Ray Sweeten ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7ApYtQ5S7o ) that I also added to the show...
