>This commerative event will celebrate a major aspect of the origins of the
>creative explosion which has resulted in multimedia, electronic music, and
>a new way of conceiving of art.  The second half of the 20th century
>offered a new set of tools for artists to work with -- namely, digital
>computers.  Bell Labs provided an environment for some of the earliest
>experiments using these new technologies for both music and visual
>experimentation -- both for artists and scientists.
>
>Our panelists,  who were a part of that heady period at Bell Labs, will
>give presentations that explore the projects and events which made that
>time so exciting.  This event represents an unprecedented opportunity to
>enrich the digital art industries of the future by sharing its unique
>beginnings.
