Pioneering electronic art, he made innovations in computer and laser technology, including kinetics and sound, which he applied to visual art, music and theatre. He was the first artist in Australia to use television as an artistic medium, and arguably the first in the world to use lasers in a stage production. His radical approach to marrying art and technology drew much criticism from critics and peers, yet his work gathered much interest in international experimental art circles.</font></div></div><div class="_3x-2" data-ft="{"tn":"H"}" style="color: rgb(29, 33, 41);"><div data-ft="{"tn":"H"}" class=""><div class="mtm" style="margin-top: 10px;"><br class=""></div></div></div></div><div class="">
