...Dali has tried to give his work a quasiscientific dimension by toying with such themes as Einstein's theory of relativity and the discovery of the DNA spiral. The latest Nobel laureate to experience his attentions is Dr. Dennis Gabor, the inventor of holography. A holograph, made with laser beams, has the property of accurately reproducing an object in three dimensions. "All artists," proclaims Dali, "have been concerned with three-dimensional reality since the time of Velásquez, and in modern times the analytic Cubism of Picasso tried again to capture the three dimensions of Velásquez...
THESE PRINCIPLES are totally inadequate to deal with the complex role of the scientist--working through the universities and through companies like ADL--in developing the super-sophisticated weaponry now in use in Indochina. "People sniffers," laser- and TV-guided bombs, remote-controlled planes, and computerized bombing patterns were all developed by American scientists, yet the link is rarely direct. The weapons are developed component by component, subcontract by subcontract, so that the scientist rarely creates the entire weapon and almost never receives a government contract stamped "for use in Indochina...
...they produce STOL's for the Air Force for use in psychological warfare (equipped with speakers to broadcast to the country side), armed reconnaisance and precision air drops. The planes come armed with 3-barrel gatling guns, 2.75-inch rockets, and several new types of bombs, including TV. and laser-guided bombs, and bombs which follow a moving truck by homing in on its ignition system. The U.S. is giving them to the South Vietnamese as part of the Vietnamization program...
...companies on this map are involved in military contracting--for this war, and for future wars. AVCO, for example, develops the laser technology which is already being used for laser-guided bombs. It's also working on future military uses of lasers, which include a laser "zap gun" for burning or blinding the enemy; guidance systems for missiles; range-finders for tanks; and techniques for defusing incoming ICBM's. The Defense Marketing Survey--the authoritative source on weapons manufacturers--calls it the "space age miracle beam of light," and its space-age potential is being developed right in Everett...
...global village, teaching music from India, Africa and China along with conventional Western music, combining art and technology in its electronic music labs. Labs like these in the East are progressing in the same direction it is true, but C.I.A. has managed to hook up synthesizers with laser beams and visual generators with a wit and sophistication worthy of Audio-animaltronics. Indeed many of the courses have the playfulness of a Disneyland attraction not to mention the awesomeness. The art school for example, offers the House Of Dust course. The class works with a House Of Dust sculpture, which...
