        ======================
	
       THE SURREALIST BALL, 1986
	
       On Saturday, September 27
            From 8:30 p.m.
  'til the wee hours of the morning
	
   To be held at the Computer Museum
         300 Congress Street
      Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.
	
        ======================
	
The Surrealist Ball is unlike any event 
previously held in Boston!
	
        **********************
	
...with pulsating tunnels, stairs which
respond to your body energy causing lights
to twinkle and bells to ring...laser shows
(by the same people who lit the Statue of
Liberty Torch)...it's an event you will
NEVER forget!
	
        %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
	
The Purpose:  To celebrate the coming of age of
Computer Art.  Computer art is no longer bright
colors splashed across paper.  It has emerged as
a fine art movement.  Now, artists can create
brilliant murals, composers can compose
sophisticated symphonies, choreographers can
create dance steps which were previously
inconceivable.
