Abstract

Dadaist Raoul Hausmann, famous for his photomontages, is perhaps less well known as a pioneer of synaesthetic machines designed to transform sound into form and vice versa--not unlike primitive computers, in fact. The author has located the patent for one such invention, artist Peter Keene's realization of which accompanies this historical account.
