Jerry Spivack is President of Inter/Action, working on new approaches for education, entertainment, technology, and social development. He is also coordinator of outreach and communication for the Millennium Peoples Assembly Network, a United Nations/civil society project, aiming to foster a greater voice for people in determining their future. In the 1960s, he was a member of Experiments in Art and Technology (EAT) and participated in "Nine Evenings of Art in the Armory."

At Bell Laboratories, he worked on early computer media research, including: transforming 2-dimensional photographs to see how changes in low and high frequencies affected visual imagery, generating computer motion pictures to investigate stereoscopic vision, and studying whether pictures generated from two (2) color light sources could substitute for standard three (3) color pictures ("Land Color" experiments). Jerry Spivack is past president of the New York Chapter of the World Future Society, and served as MENSAs coordinator for Gifted Childrens Resources in New York City. JSpvk@aol.com http://www.ngo.org
