In the NMR, pgs. 247-258 in the chapter entitled "From Software - Information Technology: Its New Meaning for Art"
1970 -Software was an exhibition at the Jewish Museum. The exhibit was organized by Jack Burnham and invited visitiors to participate by using the computers
The Software exhibition proved to be a technological disaster in many respects, however, it also showed great progress in computing and made many aware of the future possibilities of computer technology. The exhibit was focused on displaying to the public information processing systems and the devices neccessary to operate such systems. Software allowed artists to draw audiences in and have a hands-on experience with the programs they had created. In my opinion, although there were several technical promblems and failures created by Software, interactive displays seemed to have been effective in providing audience members with experiences they had never had before.
