About this work

Paul Brown made this drawing in 1979 using a computer program. The code told a pen plotter where to move, drawing straight lines across paper. One program could make many versions like this. He called this piece BIGDIM / 0 3 6 3 0 0 0 / 200, 120 / 11,969. The numbers in the title come from data the code picked to shape the lines. The Victoria and Albert Museum owns four drawings from the same program. Check out Paul Brown next.
