         | I never knew about her - thank you for posting. The
         | intersection of art and computers has always fascinated me. And
         | clearly she was a pioneer in this field.

       | what I find interesting in her short films is the "disconnect"
       | between visual and audio. it is not perfectly synchronized,
       | perhaps it would not have been possible to do so. but today with
       | all out technical possibilities, to see something like this, it
       | transmits a kind of purity and innocence.

         | What am I missing here?

       | When I was at the University of Maryland in the late 70s,
       | Schwartz visited the Computer Vision Lab and gave a talk. Sadly,
       | I don't remember much about the talk but I did enjoy meeting her
       | and discussing computer art.

       | I wonder if some of the Amiga demos were inspired by her art,
       | they have very similar effects and hers are at least a decade
       | earlier.
