To create his “Poemfields” (1965-71) series, VanDerBeek worked closely with computer scientist Ken Knowlton and the staff at Bell Labs. Each “Poemfield” was adapted from poems by VanDerBeek, programmed on an IBM 7094 computer in black and white using a custom language known as BEFLIX, and colored after the fact by artists Robert Brown and Frank Olvey. Poemfield No. 2 features a soundtrack by jazz percussionist Paul Motian, known for his collaborations with Bill Evans.

#BEFLIX Bell Labs-Ken Knowlton &Stan Vamderbeeks 喜歡⋯⋯示波器詩歌和宇宙的多重曝,cathode-ray,晶瑩的像素、故障密集的色塊、映像管、散焦集束的噴湧,寶石-結晶、詞語,光暈的扭曲、變形與馬賽克組曲,描邊neon light在紛變裂開的詞組的碼電之中,飛行的猩底片,數像-星體的交裹輪奐,後迷幻藥浮游的心智放射、動排、躍遷的亂碼集,幻覺-失重的翩翩光學印片,輻射對稱的波點-閃現。
