Paul Brown made this drawing in 1979. It’s a plotter drawing controlled by code he wrote. The pen plotter moved a pen across paper following his instructions. This work is part of a series called BIGDIM. The numbers in the title come from data the computer used to shape the drawing. The artist later reused the same code to create more drawings. This artist pushed early computer art forward. Look up Brown, Paul.
