	An exhibit of computer assisted and computer inspired  prints
by  Edith  Smith  will  be  held  at  CCRMA,  the Center for Computer
Research in Music  and  Acoustics  at  Stanford  University,  May  14
through June  6.  The etchings, lithographs, and monotypes comprising
the show depict the computer center, its hardware,  its  people,  and
its  advanced  technology.  The  computer-generated  etchings utilize
edge-finding programs and digital  distortions  of  computer-directed
video  imagery  translated  into  fine prints through photo sensitive
etching  processes.   The  computer  environment   is   captured   in
traditional intaglio technique by mezzotint, an 18th-century process.
A series of monotype images complete the exhibit.

	Edith Smith is a Palo Alto painter  and  printmaker  who  has
exhibited locally at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Palo
Alto Cultural Center, Dominican College; in New York at the  Artists'
Gallery;  and  in  Brussels  at  the  Galerie Dautzenberg.  She is an
instructor of printmaking at Foothill College, Los Altos Hills.   The
show  will  be  on  display from 10 A.M. until 5 P.M., Monday through
Friday.  The Stanford Center  for  Computer  Research  in  Music  and
Acoustics is located at 1600 Arastradero Road, Palo Alto.
