This program is from the Punto Cinco event which followed MOSFET by about three weeks. This was the first use of the Light Arc photosensitive instrument interface, which we married to a computer-controlled synthesizer—I recall Betsy Start as the synth technician, but don't see an acknowledgement—and renamed the Elastic Thatre. The group experimented with various approaches to this situational performance method throughout the summer.
