Description
signed, titled, and dated
computer used to program the image : a.i.70/71 (hybrid computer)
machine used to create the image: oscilloscope
They called these works “diffraction images”, which Beckmann recorded as Photographs.
For this image, a laser was directed onto a transparent card containing computer-generated information. In this way the diffraction images were produced on a screen positoned behind the card. Beckmann recorded those images using photography.
