TONI DOVE is an artist who works primarily with electronic media, including virtual reality and interactive video laser disk installations that engage viewers in responsive and immersive narrative environments. Her work has been presented in the United States, Europe, and Canada, as well as in print and on radio and television. Her most recently completed project, Artificial Changelings (1993-1998), is an interactive narrative installation that uses video motion sensing to track the location and movements of a viewer standing in front of a large screen and translates them into changes in image and sound. A sci-fi romance about shopping, this interactive movie follows the life of Arathusa, a kleptomaniac in 19th-century Paris during the rise of the department store, who is dreaming about Zilith, an encryption hacker in the future with a mission. It debuted at the Rotterdam Film Festival in 1998 and was part of the exhibition “Body Mécanique” at the Wexner Center for the Arts and at the Computing Commons Gallery at Arizona State University during the Performance Studies International Conference in March 2000. A new piece currently under development, Spectropia, will be a feature-length interactive movie. It will be performed by two players on multiple screens for an audience in a theatrical setting or experienced by two individuals interacting at the same time as a single-screen serial installation in three parts over a more extended time period. The second phase of the proposal is to port the project to a component-based DVD system for a shared interactive narrative experience in the living room. A research fellowship from the Institute for Studies in the Arts at Arizona State University will provide the programming and engineering resources to develop the technology prototype.

LILLIAN F. SCHWARTZ is best known for her pioneering work in the use of computers for what has since become known as computer-generated art and computer-aided art analysis, including graphics, film, video, animation, special effects, virtual reality, and multimedia. Her work was recognized for its aesthetic success and was the first in this medium to be acquired by the Museum of Modern Art. Her contributions in starting a new field of endeavor in the arts, art analysis, and the field of virtual reality have recently earned her Computerworld Smithsonian Awards. Schwartz began her computer art career as an offshoot of her merger of art and technology, which culminated in the selection of her kinetic sculpture, Proxima Centauri, by the Museum of Modern Art for its epoch-making “1968 Machine Exhibition.” She then expanded her work into the computer area, becoming a consultant at the AT&T Bell Laboratories, IBM’s Thomas J. Watson Research Laboratory, and Lucent Technologies, Bell Labs Innovations. On her own, and with leading scientists, engineers, physicists, and psychologists, she developed effective techniques for the use of the computer in film and animation. Besides establishing computer art as a viable field of endeavor, Schwartz additionally contributed to scientific research areas such as visual and color perception and sound. Her own personal efforts have led to the use of the computer in the philosophy of art, whereby databases containing information as to palettes and structures of paintings, sculptures, and graphics by artists such as Picasso and Matisse are used by Schwartz to analyze the choices of those artists and to investigate the creative process itself. Her contributions to electronic art analysis and restoration, specifically in Italian Renaissance painting and fresco, have been recognized. Schwartz’s work has been much in demand internationally both by museums and festivals. Schwartz has always had close ties to the academic community, having been a visiting member in the computer science departments and psychology departments of several universities and colleges. She has also been awarded numerous fellowships and honors. There are several books that include her work, the most recent being The Web (2000), by Bridget Mintz Testa. She has also written, with Laurens Schwartz, The Computer Artist’s Handbook (1992).

Computer science has drawn from and contributed to many disciplines and practices since it emerged as a field in the middle of the 20th century. Those interactions, in turn, have contributed to the evolution of information technology – new forms of computing and communications, and new applications – that continue to develop from the creative interactions between computer science and other fields.

Beyond Productivity argues that, at the beginning of the 21st century, information technology (IT) is forming a powerful alliance with creative practices in the arts and design to establish the exciting new, domain of information technology and creative practices—ITCP. There are major benefits to be gained from encouraging, supporting, and strategically investing in this domain.
