ABSTRACT

Al Razutis grew up in Los Angeles in a movie and TV culture that featured rare moments of 3D in an otherwise 2D or “flat” film world. But the Hollywood culture and media relevance vanished for Razutis in the 1960s as he plunged totally into the underground and experimental art and cultures of the antiestablishment 1960s. That liberated Razutis from what he has called “the overbearing and commercialized slop that had become the norm.” And that, of course, motivated Razutis to produce all kinds of experiments with film, video, and multimedia arts in 2D and 3D, which he continues to produce to this day.
