Computer Graphics
In 1986, the International Synergy Institute in Los Angeles invited Brummbaer to be artist in residence to work on their Fairlight CVI computer where he created several ¾" videos: "New Worlds,” “Orient Ma Mind An Touch Ma Hal,” “Pretty Please." Another reason to live in LA was his friendship with Dr. Timothy Leary, Dr. John Lilly, and his wife Tony. Since the introduction of the personal computer he promoted and exercised digital design, creating art for games and special effects for movies. In 1988 he worked on Futique Inc.'s "Cyberpunk Interscreen/The Mind Movie" in collaboration with Timothy Leary. Stubbornly insisting to only design on computers allowed only for a modest living by generating covers for books, records and magazines.
During 1991–1993, Brummbaer served as the Art Director for the game Darkseed, in the style of, and in collaboration with H.R. Giger. For the movie Critters 4 he created the computer graphics on a PC. The "Digital Be-In" in San Francisco and the Zero-One Gallery, Los Angeles showed his first exhibition of electronic paintings, hosted by Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary's last book "Chaos and Cyberculture" contains many illustrations by Brummbaer.
