We discovered Mary Ellen Bute, after searching for other artists from Schwitter's era. Far across the ocean Bute was living in New York and making videos combined with music 'seeing sound' what we might consider a very early form of VJing. Born in 1906, she began making films when she was 28 years old and succeeded to pioneer her style. A new muze, Mary Ellen Bute poetically and optically crosses the lines between sound, light, form and colour. We think she's rad. Its hard to imagine anyone doing this in the 1930s!
