"That's Modulation!": Film and Video at Siggraph
Afterimage, Dec. 1990, v. 18, no. 5, pp. 4 - 5
"That's Modulation!" focuses on the 1990 SIGGRAPH (the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group in Computer Graphics) conference's film and video theatre and animation programs. J. Ronald Green describes the works as "computer art", discusses formal qualities, and expresses the difficulties of viewership and understanding of the media. Comparisons are drawn between works and popular culture, such as television commercials, cartoons, rock music, music videos, and teen movies.
