Join us for a program of highlights from this year's Robert Flaherty Film Seminar, Sonic Truth, curated by Dan Streible. The touring program features three short videos: The Artist and the Computer (1980), Pixillations (1970) and U.F.O.s (1971), by computer art pioneer Lillian Schwartz, who has experimented at the intersection of art and technology since working at Bell Labs four decades ago. Followed by a newly edited version of Dutch documentary maker Frank Scheffer's From Zero (2011, 60 min), featuring never-before-seen footage of American composer John Cage.
