Intersystems and Andy Warhol: Some comments on the nature of the 1960s and 70s avant-garde

For a brief introduction to Intersystems, the avant-garde “arts collective and multimedia performance group” founded in 1967 see this:

Michael Hayden went on to be quite a successful artist. I don’t know what became of Dik Zander and Blake Parker.

This Musicworks review of a boxed set of the group’s work also gives a good overview of them:

Of course there is a shadow that overlays all of this work; it is stuck in a bubble in some ways.
