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.
The mother of all the demoscene !!!

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.
I saw this here so many times, I guess Amiga demos were really inspired by this

Short films are ^^^^
I wonder if some of the Amiga demos were inspired by her art, they have very similar effects and hers are at least a decade earlier.
Very nice short films! Had fun watching them
