Eric Salzman’s Feedback: A Total Environment Presentation, produced at Syracuse University and taped by the Educational Television Council of Central New York. “Eric Salzman’s aim is a form of communication in which the recipient ‘feeds back’ what he experiences either overtly or subliminally in a total environment situation. The four-hour extravaganza involved new and old sounds, sights and dancing. Large screens on three sides of the chapel displayed a series of images and designs, each of short duration and sometimes superimposed. Real and seemingly unreal sounds accompanied these visuals. Exotic dancers were scattered at various elevations, and their gyratory inventions were stimulated by ensembles of brass, woodwinds and percussion.” – Harwood Simmons in the (Syracuse) Post-Standard.

It’s like talking to someone you’re in love with. You reach the point where you’re just listening. It’s as though you were paddling a canoe and then you just let it go on on its own. Sort of guide it along but without the paddle.” – Albert Maysles in Production Notes for “Salesman.”
