Charles A. Csuri (ed.): Interactive Sound and Visual Systems, catalogue (1970)

29 July 2011, dusan

“Charles Csuri organized and participated the Interactive Sound and Visual Systems exhibition, which included the installation of a large computer system with which visitors could interact. In the catalogue introduction, Csuri states, “Interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving represent the frontiers of research and education in the modern university.” The Interactive Sound and Visual Systems exhibition was held in the Hopkins Gallery, Hopkins Hall, The Ohio State University. The exhibition had to be closed early due to political demonstrations and subsequent riots on campus. Only this small catalogue remains to document the exhibition.”
