Scope note

  • Founded in 1969 by Frank Gillette, Michael Shamberg, and Ira Schneider among others, Raindance was a self-described "countercultural thinktank" that embraced video as an alternative form of cultural communication. The name “Raindance” was a play on words for “cultural R & D” (research and development)...the collective produced a data bank of tapes and writings that explored the relation of cybernetics, media, and ecology. From 1970 to 1974, Raindance published the seminal video journal Radical Software...The original Raindance collective dispersed in the mid-70s; the nonprofit Raindance Foundation continues to exist today.
