Larry Cuba

Larry Cuba produced his first computer-animated film in 1974 at the leading edge of the "second generation" of computer-animation artists --- those who directly followed the three visionaries of the sixties: John Whitney, Sr., Stan Vanderbeek and Lillian Schwartz. In 1975, Cuba collaborated with John Whitney, Sr. programming his film, Arabesque.

Cuba's subsequent computer-animated films, 3/78 (Objects and Transformations), Two Space, and Calculated Movements, have been shown at film festivals throughout the world and have won numerous awards. They've also been screened at art museums (including New York's MOMA, The Whitney Museum, SFMOMA, The Amsterdam Filmmuseum and the Isetan Museum of Art, Tokyo) and at various conferences (including Siggraph, ISEA, Ars Electronica, and Art & Math Moscow).

Cuba received grants from the American Film Institute and The National Endowment for the Arts and a residency at the Center for Art and Media Technology Karlsruhe (ZKM). He has served on the juries for the Siggraph Electronic Theater, Ars Electronica, the Montpellier Festival of Abstract Film, and The Ann Arbor Film Festival and most recently has founded a non-profit arts organization for the promotion and preservation of abstraction in media art, The iotaCenter (www.iotacenter.org).
