RYRAL is a realtime audio video performance by Tom DeFanti (creating computer animation with the GRaphics Symbiosis System or GRASS), Phil Morton ("up in the kitchen"), Dan Sandin (processing video with the Sandin Image Processor), Bob Snyder (performing experimental electronic music on an analog EMU synthesizer) and Rylin Harris (the dancer). This Media Art project was created and performed in April 1976 at the second Electronic Visualization Event (EVE II) at The University of Illinois Chicago.
