This panel discussion, moderated by curator Peter Lucas, explores the little-known history of experimental films and light shows in the Seattle area in the late 1960s and early ‘70s, and celebrates the pioneers of this funky, techno-folk multi-media art form.

Panelists including Seattle historian and editor-publisher of the ‘60s counterculture paper Helix, Paul Dorpat; media arts scholar Robin Oppenheimer; and artist and member of Seattle’s Union Light Company Ron McComb will discuss the films and events, the techniques and makeshift equipment used, and present slides and rare footage from the era.
