Executive Summary This Fellowship study explored the use of analogue and digital technologies to create colour surfaces and sound experiences. The research focused on art and design activities that combine traditional analogue techniques (such as drawing or painting) with print and electronic media (from simple LED lighting to large-scale video projections on buildings). The Fellow’s rich and varied self-directed research was centred in Venice, Italy, with visits to France, Sweden, Scotland and the Netherlands to attend large public events such as the Biennale de Venezia and the Edinburgh Festival, and more intimate moments where one-on-one interviews were conducted with renown artists in their studios.

Palmquist STEREO WORLD readers may remember a Com- ment letter in the MaylJune 83 issue from Mr. Phillip Brigandi concerning the stereo activities of his great grandfather. Since then he has continued to seek information, which has culminated in a special edition of the CMP BULLLETIN (Vol. 2, No. 3) of the California Museum of Photography, University of California, Riverside. "Philip Brigandi: Keystone Photographer" accom- panies a recent exhibition of Brigandi's stereophoto- graphy from the Keystone-Mast Collection at the CMP. The Bulletin consists of sixteen pages (plus covers) and is handsomely printed. Edward Earle, Curator of the Keystone-Mast Collection, wrote the foreword while Phillip Brigandi provided biographical details of his ancestor's illustrious life. Especially useful is an essay on Brigandi's relationship with the Key- stone View Company by Andrew Eskind, Director of Interdepartmental Services at George Eastman House, Rochester, NY.
