Martin's early works of the 1960s and '70s were created in collaboration with new music composers Pauline Oliveros, Morton Subotnick, and David Tudor and in cooperation with The San Francisco Tape Music Center, NYU Intermedia Department, and Experiments in Art and Technology. His solo exhibitions at the Howard Wise Gallery were pioneering in their incorporation of the psychology and aesthetics of the viewer as a direct, necessary part of the art "object." For the past decade, Martin has employed available analog and digital hardware/software to produce interactive image making.
