Radical Software #2



  Seems like a hippie new media project. At the time, the term radical software referred to the content of information rather than to a computer program. The cover image was computer-generated, a novelty at the time. 
  The magazine was an outgrowth of the Raindance Corporation in New York during the summer of 1969. Their intention was to found an alternative media think tank; a source of ideas, publications, videotapes and energy providing a theoretical basis for implementing communication tools in the project of social change. The magazine struggled along to number 6 as the founders were seeing the production was a distraction from their overall mission of the Raindance Corporation.
