Summary

This film focuses on Gyorgy Kepes, an influential Hungarian-American artist with whom Frank Eidlitz studied in 1966. Kepes, a professor at MIT, founded the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) in 1967 to facilitate the intersection between art, science and technology. The film, though silent, features Kepes speaking at a seminar. It includes title cards towards the beginning, including one introducing Gyorgy Kepes and another showing a brochure for a symposium accompanying the exhibition in January 1966. It also includes close-ups of Kepes’ influential books, including editions in a variety of languages.
