This playlist is a collection of MFA student work - spanning more than thirty years. It shows the breadth of work MFA students have undertaken at EVL, but by no means tells the whole story.
The videos in this playlist are a selection of historical videos that demonstrate or explain seminal research completed at EVL, and earlier, the Circle Graphics Habitat.
Established in 1973, the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) is a research lab in the Computer Science Department at the University of Illinois at Chicago. EVL consists of faculty and students from a wide variety of disciplines, and is considered one of the oldest institutions in the U.S. that graduates students in Computer Science and Art.
EVL is best known for the computer graphics featured in the first Star Wars film (1977), the invention of the CAVE virtual reality environment in 1991, and the GeoWall in 2000.
