Roman Verostko (born 1929 USA) was one of the earliest artists experimenting with algorithmic art - work created using an algorithm or set of instructions written by the artist - and has been a key figure in its development. He was a member of the ‘The Algorists’, a term coined in 1995 to describe a set of artists, who, since the 1960s and 1970s, had been working with a shared interest in the use of bespoke software for generating art using the computer.
This drawing was created by Verostko for a work entitled “Psalms in Sound and Image”, which synchronised a sequence of projected images of Verostko's work with a sound track. The sound track and slide sequence signals were programmed by the artist using an electronic synchronizer and a Wollensak recorder, and are the earliest example of his programmed work.
