Kraftwerk - Musique Non Stop [ Remastered to HD ] from isidoro rodriguez on Vimeo.
For over thirty years Rebecca Allen has investigated a variety of technological forms of expression including 3-D computer graphic animation, music videos, TV logo production, video games, large-scale performance works, artificial life, multisensory interfaces, interactive installations, and virtual reality. Allen is not interested in technology for its own sake, however. Rather, she is interested in a technoculture that humanizes technology even while maintaining a critical stance toward it. Or perhaps one can say that it is her critical approach toward technology that helps humanize it. Allen demonstrates this critical approach with her concern with artistic quality and the conceptual integrity of her work — a conceptual integrity that stresses the effect on the mind of the immersant/user. Indeed her main concern appears to be the investigation of the perceptual and cognitive processes of the immersant/user in conjunction with the technological apparatus with which she is engaged.
-- Frank Popper, From Technological to Virtual Art
This video was actually created in 1983 at the Institute of Technology in New York, the same year that Allen created a computer-generated human for Twyla Tharp’s The Catherine Wheel. The slow pace of Kraftwerk's work meant there was a three-year gap before release.
