A recent article on Paleofuture brought to my attention the work of C.E. Burnett an engineer at RCA's research lab during the 1930s. This must be a very early example of cathode ray tubes being used for pattern generation and certainly predates many more well known media art pioneers. I wonder if he ever spoke to Ben F. Laposky another early pioneer in a related technique.
