Across their careers, Dan Sandin and Tom DeFanti have invented entirely new ways of how mediation operates - extending its ability of recording through processing and into a synthesis of new possibilities. This has taken place through an ongoing process of collaboration where a synthesis of art, engineering and science developed pioneering methods that would influence the creation of the field of new media art.

For "Synthesis: Processing and Collaboration" Dan Sandin has selected several videos from the 70s and 80s, featuring early image processing and discussions with the collaborators involved. An original Image Processor (IP) and video camera equipment will also be on display in the gallery. Posters and videos from the 1970s performances and events will be on view along the gallery hallway. This exhibition marks the debut of a new Virtual Reality installation for the
StarCAVE, "Particle Dreams in Spherical Harmonics." Content and application programming: Dan Sandin. Content and systems programming: Robert Kooima. Music and sound effects: Laurie Spiegel. Riding Shotgun: Tom DeFanti.

The public is welcome to join the gallery@calit2 for the Panel Discussion and Opening Reception and Demos, Thursday, January 13, 2011. This will be a unique opportunity to hear from the artist and research collaborators, as
well as see Dan Sandin's new virtual reality work, "Particle Dreams in Spherical Harmonics." Throughout the exhibit, demos of Sandin's 4K, Virtual Reality, and AutoStereo work can be seen by appointment.
