e4708 is a 2008 by Mark Wilson, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Mark Wilson made this digital print in 2008. It shows how early computer artists turned code into art. Wilson wrote his own software, then used PostScript to print it big. His plots started in the 1990s as tiny black-and-white drawings. Now he scales them up into crisp, detailed prints. The V&A holds a few of those early trial pieces too. Look up Wilson, Mark next.
Mark Wilson, a pioneer in digital image creation, began producing monochrome plotter drawings in the late 1980s and early 1990s after teaching himself computer programming. For works like this one, he adapted his software to generate digital files using PostScript, which were then printed on a large-format archival printer. Wilson created multiple iterations of these images, selecting and combining elements into a single composite print through an editing process. The final result reflects his intentional refinement of the digital output.
