The Max Neuhaus Connection: Technology and Perception

While the book primarily focuses on visual computer art produced with the Stromberg-Carlson 4020 microfilm recorder, Max Neuhaus is a significant figure in this historical narrative due to his residency at Bell Labs and his early adoption of electronic systems. 

  • Artist-in-Residence at Bell Labs: In the late 1960s, Neuhaus was an artist-in-residence at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. During this period, he collaborated with scientists to experiment with acoustics, psychoacoustics, and the electronics that would eventually underpin his sound installations.
