Dead Media Beat: Keyframe Animation, Canada, 1971

*I'm much impressed by how much this futuristic, rather scruffy guy in white is a recognizable technician-artist figure. It's 1971, and yet, already, this guy is clearly dressed to distinguish himself from any mere mainframe data-entry drone. He's in New Media.

*Not only is his affect quite modern, he actually looks a little ahead of the curve circa 2012, like he's making some arch contemporary statement about the usual crowd at Ars Electronica.
