Interactive video installation for video monitor, computer, keypad and laserdisc player.

Arguably the first interactive art videodisc made.

Created during a class I taught at MIT entitled Workshop in Elastic Movie Time. The disc was funded by the MIT Council for the Arts and includes four experiments in interactive cinema:

Thirst (Luc Courchesne & Ellen Sebring)

Dance Haiku (Bill Seaman & Peter Roose)

Marital Fracture (Rose Gerstein & Russ Sasnet)
