"In retrospect one could divide the artists participating into three categories:  the techno-artists such as Robert Whitman, Rockne Krebs, Newton Harrison, and  Boyd Mefferd who were esthetically allied with the light and kinetic movement; New York "name" artists such as Claes Oldenburg, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard  Serra, Tony Smith, Andy Warhol, and Robert Rauschenberg who were only  tangentially connected with art and technology; and finally the oddballs such as James Lee Byars, Ron Kitaj, and Oyvind Falstrom who provided the show's element of serendipity."
