Early Computer Graphics @ Translab Website

http://translab.burundi.sk/code/vzx/index.htm#9

from the website:

"In the early 1960s digital computers became available to artists for the first time
(although they cost from $100.000 to several millions, required air conditioning, and
therefore located in separate computer rooms, uninhabitable 'studios';
programs and data had to be prepared with the keypunch, punch cards then fed into the computer;
systems were not interactive and could produce only still images).
The output medium was usually a pen plotter, microfilm plotter (hybrid bwn vector CRT
and a raster image device), line printer or an alphanumeric printout, which was then manually
transferred into a visual medium.

Two main centers of computer art activities:
The Murray Hill lab, Bell Laboratories, New Jersey, us (now AT&T),
Technische Universitat Stuttgart, de (Max Bense)
