<font face="Arial" size="2" style="">Tony Conrad (American, 1940–2016) graduated from Harvard University in 1962 with a degree in Mathematics. While studying at Harvard, Conrad was exposed to the ideas of an influential American avant-garde composer and music
 theorist,&nbsp;<a href="https://owa.exchange.mit.edu/owa/UrlBlockedError.aspx" style="" target="_blank"><span dir="ltr">John Cage</span></a>, which predetermined the future shift of Conrad’s career towards experimental music and film making. Tony Conrad once said
 that he moved to New York in the early 1960s and entered into the art scene because of his interest in music, but went to film because music was &quot;too boring.&quot; Interestingly, Conrad's musical and video ideas are often based on mathematical principles, providing
 an example of work at the intersection of art and science. The MIT List Visual Art Center presents a retrospective of Tony Conrad's artworks throughout his six-decade career, which includes his rarely seen films and videos, 20-year long “Yellow movies,” and
