Historical events captured in an abstract manner have the ability to produce a
profound effect on the emotions. The purpose of this research is to create a time-based
computer media work, using dialogue from playwright Anne Nelson's The Guys, based
on the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, with
emphasis on visual imagery, particularly the use of line and color, to enhance the
dramatic and emotional content of the piece. The stylistic direction of the thesis work is
greatly influenced by selected works of abstract expressionists Robert Motherwell and
Franz Kline, whose artwork was shaped by the social backdrop of World War II.
