Multimedia - From Wagner to Virtual Reality Excellent resource website: http://www.w2vr.com/contents.html "This Website is the interactive companion to the book of the same title, Multimedia: From Wagner to Virtual Reality.

Jennifer SteinKamp - Visual Music Installation Jennifer Steinkamp is an installation artist who works with video and new media in order to explore ideas about architectural space, motion, and phenomenological perception. [website: http://jsteinkamp.com/ ] Jennifer SteinKamp - Loop "Recent explorations employing digital media and installation represent a fulfillment of the tradition while suggesting new directions for visual music. Using multiple video projections and amplified sound, Jennifer Steinkamp (b. 1958) constructed a space where the viewer is immersed in an environment of lights, color, form, and movement synchronized to a sound composition by Bryan Brown. In her work SWELL (1995), three projectors present digital animations of glowing colored starburst f…
