While these men — Noll, Julesz, Knowlton, andothers at Bell Laboratories — in the course of theirresearch have produced computer-generated imagesof artistic merit and interest, their primary objectivestill is research. Specifically, they are concerned withexploring the computers manifold capabilities andits potential uses as a research tool. For example,Frank W.

which attempt to isolate those three-dimensional ef-fects that we detect entirely through motion or timesequence. As these researchers point out, their ex-perience with the artists point of view has provideda useful feedback into their own work — a kind ofyeast in the cake of pure science. But the ultimatevalue of this experience, for them, will lie in itsstretching of the horizon of research. Translating movement into sound Manfred Schroeder, director of Bell Laboratoriesacoustics, speech and mechanics laboratory, a yearago participated in an experimental entertainmentcalled Nine Evenings: Theater and Engineering. Thiswas a collaborative project between dancers, artists,musicians and technologists. Engineers and scientistsat Bell Laboratories contributed their technical exper-tise, working on their own time, to produce a fusionof music, painting, dance, abstract sound, film andlive television.
