Harold Cohen made this drawing in 1969. It’s a hand-colored print that looks like a contour map. Cohen had been painting for years before he tried computers. He started programming after moving to California in 1968. This piece shows his first experiments with code and drawing side by side. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum for more of his early computer art.
