For the first time, this collection of recordings represents the widely unknown genealogy of what is today regarded as one of the most important experimental compositions of the 20th century. The editors were able to unearth previously unreleased archival material ranging from Lucier’s first preliminary attempt to realize this piece in 1969 to his last performance of "I am sitting in a room" in Riga, Latvia in 2019.

Rooted in DIY video synthesis techniques from the 1960s and 70s, this project explores the signal-based creation of sound and image using a VGA synthesizer and digital audio porcessing. 60Hz refers to the vertical refresh rate in analogue video sytems. This project explores the ideosyncrasies of signal flows, digital processes and human-machine interaction beyond the notion of command. Following unorthodox approaches in early live-electronics this project‘s interest is with matters of influences rather than control. Hardware and software constitute a frame for performative actions and co-creative dynamics. -&gt; 60Hz&nbsp;
