Artists have long explored Abstraction and Visual Music using techniques such as film animation, video synthesis, and computer graphics. Developments in one medium have become common in others, as with the burgeoning VJ scene which combines popular music, experimental imaging techniques, and live performance.

Los Angeles, a city famous for mainstream media, also is home to a vital and diverse community of alternative media artists. The iotaCenter presents films by several local artists who in most cases will be present to discuss their work. Although varied, their films are united by an expressive approach to cinema. As paintings in motion, or music made visual, they transcend conventional film form with personal freedom and technical virtuosity.

(USC is well represented, with work by Mar Elepano, Michael Scroggins, Kathy Smith and Vibeke Sorensen.)
