Hosted by Susan Stamberg, this program features works by two video/computer artists: "Mt. Fuji," by the Japanese artist Ko Nakajima, and "Hyster Pulsatu," by the Dutch artist Jaap Drupsteen. Both works offer unusual depictions of landscapes. In "Mt. Fuji," photographic images of the mountain are formed into graphic rectangles, which then become three-dimensional geometric shapes that move about the Japanese landscape and interact with nature. In "Hyster Pulsatu," mimes interact with a computer landscape derived from Drupsteen's own musical compositions. Brightly colored shapes pulsate to spare electronic music as human performers travel by train, by foot, and by sea through a computer-generated environment.
