> becoming the first female artist in residence at Bell Labs
I never knew about her - thank you for posting. The intersection of art and computers has always fascinated me. And clearly she was a pioneer in this field.
When I was at the University of Maryland in the late 70s, Schwartz visited the Computer Vision Lab and gave a talk. Sadly, I don't remember much about the talk but I did enjoy meeting her and discussing computer art.
what I find interesting in her short films is the "disconnect" between visual and audio. it is not perfectly synchronized, perhaps it would not have been possible to do so.
but today with all out technical possibilities, to see something like this, it transmits a kind of purity and innocence.
