The second International Computer Art Festival was held at The Kitchen between June 1 and 14, 1974. The 11-page official program features a color cover by Bill and Louise Etra and five black and white diagrams by Paul Hrozenchik, George Chaikin and Duane Palyka. Electronic music and video works dominated the Festival, but the 60 participating artists also presented computer experiments in film and graphic sculpture.

Computer music pioneer John Chowning, working at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics, presented one of his most notable compositions, Turenas (1972), the first piece to create the illusion of sound sources moving in a 360-degree space.
