Dan Sandin ( www.evl.uic.edu/dan ) is an internationally recognized pioneer of electronic art and visualization. In 1973, he developed the Sandin Image Processor, a highly programmable analog computer for processing video images in real time. Working with Tom DeFanti, he combined the Image Processor with real-time computer graphics and performed visual concerts that he called Electronic Visualization Events, with synthesized musical accompaniment. In 1991, Sandin and DeFanti conceived and developed, in collaboration with graduate students, the CAVE virtual reality (VR) theater. In recent years, Sandin has been concentrating on perfecting the design of the CAVE and its derivatives, the ImmersaDesk and the Infinity Wall. Sandin's video animation Spiral PTL is in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York. His latest artworks involve the use of camera-based video in VR environments.
