I’ve been doing some reading/digging about video art and early motion graphics. Tangentially related, I realize, but interesting simultaneously. Here’s a link pile:

Golan Levin, “Computer Vision for Artists and Designers: Pedagogic Tools and Techniques for Novice Programmers”
Jonah Warren, “Unencumbered Full Body Interaction in Video Games”
OskarFishinger, Advertisment for the Oklahoma Gas Company circe 1955
Len Lye, filmaker, Wikipedia entry
“Cross-Influence in Abstract German Animation of the Silent Era”, Jim Middleton

A collection of the work of Casey Reas, including his masters thesis on behavioral kinetic sculpture. Here’s another collection (groupc.net), and here’s the most recent collection (reas.com). His thesis references Tinguely, Calder, Gabo, Paik and others. Mentions Karl Sims’ evolved virtual creatures, which blew my mind years and years ago.
