The documentary record of the Summer workshops at Santa Fe Art Institute called Art and Science Laboratory, Techne and Eros. The event was a platform for discussion on conceptual questions regarding the future of electronic and digital art, initiated by Steina and Woody Vasulka, composer David Dunn and physicist James Crutchfield. "The Laboratory's research aims at a deeper understanding of the digital, not only as providing tools for expression but also as a liaison enabling crossovers between different artistic disciplines. Digital technology has become the meeting place par excellence for art and science. From this perspective, the Laboratory's primary objective is the creation of strategies that allow exploration of the ways in which digital code and computer tools determine new types of human perception and a new potential for the creative imagination.“ (Perron, Jacques, 2000).
