Born in 1932, the formative years, 1935-1951, were in a civil war orphanage, Normal Illinois and the significant direction in his education commenced 1964 through 1972 at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Here, Leif conceived, originated and was a graduate Teaching Assistant in Audible Constructs 1969-1972 instruction. During his later college teaching tenure, 1972-2002, he instructed in Fine and Liberal art classes at the Universities of Iowa (Iowa City) and Minnesota (Duluth). Allthough his main research, sound, had begun before his grad teaching time at the S.A.I.C hicago he was able, over the final three years of his tenure, to provide a melding of audio issues within his originated courses and seminars he taught: Creating Across Disciplines, Art in Technologies and Environmental Studies.

Xeroxes fr/class syllabus
BELOW-students were to contribute one or two modules toward a modular inflatable in which video and slides were suggested for an opening in the Ordean Court Marshall Performing Arts Center

BELOW-for this project I had reconsidered the Depts casting area; mid and end term critiques were 2-way: LB & students selected images and videos for projecting into the steam-filled space ( during this time share- in the darkened chamber- it was possible to get a lead into students thinking and possible project directions and for me I could respond in kind and, the purpose of which, was to lead them into audio and imaging concepts and segueing into indiv. presentations
(we were all moved with the experience of walking and looking around inside every exploding image and hearing its 4-speakered sound track- which gave us all the opportunity to discuss the hologram as sculpture)
