text from the Cybernetic Serendipity colophon page:
Mason visualizes the desired pattern and then he conceives a circuit arrangement which will produce the effect. He works with an analogue computer in association with an X/Y plotter. This drawing was produced in red ink with a reservoir pen. Mason’s images often resemble op art and many consist of moire patterns.
