Great stuff from the 1980’s.. I particularly like Alias’s “Eric the Dynamic Worm” and Rhythm and Hues’s Chromosaur!

The "SGI IRIS 2400 (1985)" presentation really turned me on:
"…If all comes together in a system, that transfoms clips and diplays data at rates to 70,0000 coordinates per second…Gives you twentytwothousand depth-cueded lines per second…With true pespective…The system performs operations with full thirtytwo bit floating point precision... Your workstation calculates and draws beziers. B-Splines! Cardinal-Splines! And other cubic curves in real time…
That’s marketing I understand, doh!
