Perhaps the first attempts to visualize smog and/through its effects ocurred in Los Angeles in the first few post-world War II years. This is done by a small group of actors, working almost entirely under the auspices of two institutions: 1) the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), just starting to establish itself as the largest and most influential "think tank" of the Cold War University-Military Industrial Complex; its air pollution work was sponsored by the Western Oil and Gas Association, and 2) the Los Angeles County Air Pollution Control Board.
