Oskar Fischinger: Space Light Art
The [Whitney] museum presents one of the first multimedia projections ever made: a re-creation of the artist’s multiple-screen films—displays of abstract shapes and colors—that were first shown in Germany in 1926, and have been recently restored. June 28 to Oct. 28.

Whitney Museum of American Art
Madison Ave. at 75th St., New York, N.Y.

********************
Otherwise called Raumlichtkunst (Space Light Art), this is Center for Visual Music's new restoration and recreation, presented at selected museums as a 3 screen HD installation. Re-created from newly restored 1920s nitrate originals.
