Sobre la obra
In 1968 an electrical engineer at the University of New Mexico, Richard Williams, developed a computer program he called ART1. The new program allowed non-experts to create computer-generated images on the University's IBM 360 mainframe computer, without needing to understand the complexities of computer programming. The images were printed on a line printer, a device that produced a range of alphanumeric characters on continuous computer paper. Artists such as Frederick Hammersley and Katherine Nash went on to explore ART1's creative capabilities.

This artwork was created using ART2, which was developed by Nash and Ronald Reichenberger at the University of Minnesota. In this surviving computer printout, the program's variables are printed on the page preceding the image itself. The character that features prominently in the image - the letter Z - is specified along with its distribution across the sheet. Other characters are overprinted, in order to create the darker areas.
