Thesis (M.S.V.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1992.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 50-57).
This thesis explores the philosophy which underlies the Timely Self-Portrait Machine. The cultural history of the machine, the phenomenon of Television, and the personal history of this project are discussed. Technical information and a functional explanation of The Timely Self-Portrait Machine are provided. A central theme is echoed throughout; essentially, a request is made that the machine be treated by artists and designers as an agent of expression in itself, regardless of superfluous decoration.
