Minn agaeti Adalsteinn 

12 .Januar '93 

Hm . .better switch to english - Here is what I ideally want : 

Four NTSC projectors (NTSC = USA Standard) 

Four NTSC Video PLayers 

Four rear projection screens 

Two stereo amps 

Four speakers 

Explanations : 

"Video players" refers to ideally Pioneer laser disk 

players with remote port for computer control - if not 

possible then 3/4" SONY video tape players (SONY is the only 

one with the right synchronization port) . 

"Rear projection screen" refers to a translucent 

material that will show the projected video image on both 

sides of the screen . 

I need a totally darkened space with a curtain or plywood 

arrangement in front of the door L-shape type . . . either the 

groundfloor space where the book show was or the cafeteria 

downstairs . Other spaces might do as long as they can be 

closed off sound-and light-wise . I want this room covered 

with mirrors wall to wall, floor and ceiling . 

I know, this is a tall order - Halldor Bjoern warned me 

about fundraising difficulties you were having, so there are 

some compromises looming . . . 

Compromises : 

1 . Mirrors can be segmented (smaller), can be plastic or 

some new material (Mylar?), but must not distort . 

2 . If mirrors can be arranged for, I might be able to cut 

from 4X everything to 2X everything . 

3 . If projectors/videoplayers are not donated and must be 

rented, talk to me first about a better deal, something 

that I would be able to bring with me . All such things 

are so much cheaper here than in Europe . 

At the end of this month I must make a quick trip to 

Europe, but from Feb . 10th on I will be full time in Santa 

Fe working on "Borealis", something I am looking very much 

forward to . 

Let me know if you need something else - best regards, ETC . .

1-Transformer from 220 acv to 110 ACV, 619 Watts minimum 

Question : Is the "basement space" the one where we had the 

meeting? 

Rear Projection Screens : It looks promising that I get them, 

maybe even with (collapsable) frames . 

I am sending a formal invoice, if there is a problem to 

forward me all the money now, let me know and I will write 

another . I mentioned on the phone, as this project is 

costing me a lot if I could cash in the hotel money for the 

pocket and crash on my sister . What do you say? 

Funny you should ask about the Ferro book - I could not find 

it as it was still in the travel wrapping, but the same day 

you asked I finally found it . So, no I have not read it yet . 

Best regards,

Dear Sternaand Woody Vasalka, . 

1 have heard from many visitors including Erkki Huhtamo that your Pioneer of Electronic Art was a 

great package of information of the history of electronic image. I have seen the book and it is 

magnificent. I am working on now with a project to make a permanent place in our museum for 

electronic art . It will include avideothek and exhibitions from all fields ofelectronic art. I would like 

to know if it is possible to loan your software for a small exhibition in 1993 concerning your Pioneers 

of Electronic Art . Could you please fax me information of the space and hardware needed to make it 

true . What could the expences be including the books? We are also interested in to know how much 

could the software cost if we would like to buy it as a part of our permanent collection/program . 

FA]d Huhtamo told me that you have made this program on video disc . I have a dream to transfer 

our videos from submasters to videodiscs. It could be easiest way to make the videothek to wont . I 

am very interested in to know your opinion of this plan . Is video disc a good way to do it or would it 

be better to use some other technology for videothek? Could you also give me information where it it 

easiest and cheapest to make the transfer from our submasters to video discs? I have tried to ask 

Video Data Sank, Electornic Arts Intermix and Kitchen about possibilities to buy discs directly from 

them, but this idea seems to be maybe too new for distributors . As far as I know there is only some 

pieces as a compilation from Voyager and several independent artists has made their video art on 

disc . I ]mow that there is several museums in Europe, who are interested in to make some 

cooperation in this held . I hope that there is not too much trouble answering to my questions . I look 

forward to hearing from you . 

n.s . I have worked now three months in our museum . We met vears s¢o in Locarno. mavbe 1983.

Project title : Borealis 

Another landscape piece under interactive laserdisc 

control . It is to be an installation consisting of a four 

channel video projection organized in a four sided cube . 

The viewer can either the cube and be surrounded by 

synchronously moving landscape images with sounds for each 

screen or as there will be a space between all four screens, 

there is a way to look from the outside in . This way the 

viewer can (from any of the four corners) see the two closer 

panels as a front view, the other two through the space 

between the screens as the rear view projection . In this 

mode however, the viewer can not experience a balanced four 

corner sound . 

The cubical installation requires a light weight 

aluminum tube construction with streched translucent 

screens, four video projectors, four interactive video 

discplayers, two stereo amplifiers and four speakers .
