What were early influences on Transhumanist Arts?
Early artists who were interested in Transhumanist Arts that I either collaborated with or exhibited with in the art world were Timothy Leary, John Dorr (famous for starting EZTV which is now internationally recognized Video art performance space), Eric Orr (who has exhibited his sculpture throughout the World), Robert Thrumbull (Kinetic artist and architect), Howard Cohen first artist to work with robotics, Bill Viola (video maverick), Francis Ford Coppola was an early collaborator and inspiration when I was at his studio Zoetrope in Hollywood and we worked on the first High Definition Film which I was in. Another truly incredible artist is Richard Lowenberg who set up the first Internet community and who I collaborated with on the 1979 project “Arts & Sciences ’79” in which 30 well known artists and 30 well known scientists met for a week of brain storming. Other remarkable artist is Pam Lifton-Zoline (established a foundation and school for creativity in Telluride, Colo), Vito Accon
