EarthDay Impromptu
EarthDay Impromptu (April 21 and 22, 1990) was an event
organized collaboratively. It included artists Eduardo Kac, Carlos
Fadon and Irene Faiguenboim (Chicago) and Bruce Breland of the DAX
Group of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, among other
artists in different American cities and various countries
(Australia, Austria, Brazil, Israel, Portugal, England, France and
Canada). All participating artists worked together in an
improvised ecological celebration. In EarthDay Impromptu,
both fax and slow-scan television were used for the generation and
exchange of images.
Fax sent by Eduardo Kac, Carlos Fadon and Irene Faiguenboim from
Chicago to artists in several cities worlwide. The image was
created and sent in real time, in response to the flux of
audiovisual messages that circulated through the EarthDay
Impromptu network.
