Five-minute Romp through the IP (1973)
In this segment, Dan Sandin demonstrates the routing of a camera signal through several basic modules of an Information Processor (IP), producing a "primitive" vocabulary of the effects specific to video.

Triangle in Front of Square in Front of Circle in Front of Triangle (1973)
In this elegant demonstration, Sandin explains the mistake of using common language concepts and spatial relations to describe what actually can happen on the video screen. The images generated in the tape act according to specific parameters set by the artist. Sandin has stated "The analog Image Processor was programmed to implement the logic equations; if square, if triangle and circle show circle." In this tape, Sandin is in effect arguing for a distinct video vocabulary that replaces the classical concept of perspective. This tape was produced at the University of Illinois Chicago.

Sister's Bay Christmas Morning (1977)
In Sister's Bay Christmas Morning, Sandin transforms natural landscapes, merging image-processed material with unaltered images of snowfall. In Wandawega Waters, a kinetic ode to nature, Sandin processes images of the surface of a lake until they are transformed into an abstracted study of light and movement.

Spiral 5 PTL (Perhaps The Last) (1979)
Spiral 5 is in the inaugural collection of Video Art at MOMA [Museum of Modern Art] in New York. It was the fifth in a series of performances of a piece called Spiral. Most of the Spirals were performed live in front of audiences by people controlling digital computers and playing on the analog image processor (IP), with musicians jamming along. The GRASS digital system combined with the IP formed the digital visual instrument used in the performance. Spiral 5 was performed in front of a studio audience and the music was re-recorded later. It is an abstract, mathematical animation based on the linear spiral, in something you might call the visual music tradition.
