> becoming the first female artist in residence at Bell Labs
I never knew about her - thank you for posting. The intersection of art and computers has always fascinated me. And clearly she was a pioneer in this field.
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.

I feel like I had to watch these as part of my MKULTRA programming sessions.

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

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.

All of them just display an error message for me. Nothing is playable.
What am I missing here?
