Some years ago when
I first discovered computers I made this image with an Apple computer. I
was thrilled that someone had designed a computer that you could draw with
even if you had to use a mouse, thescree was postcard sized and the only
output was black and white. I made a book of images called Leonardo's Computer
Codex based on a drawing by da Vinci of the optic nerve. I collaged these,
photocopied them and tried out a lot of computer variations. I also sent
out a lot of blank ones into the Mail Art network and they returned collaged
and altered. I made an exhibition of these in Middlesex Polytechnic in 1989.
If you would like to make a contribution to this project please click on
the image above which will take you to a large scale (A4 & 57K) version
which you can save to your machine (right click on the picture and go 'save
image' in IE and similar in Netscape). Either print out the image and collage/draw/paint/alter
the image and post it back (address on image) or open the image in your
favourite image processing software and play about with it. Email
it back to me as an attachment and I will include all images, emailed
and posted, in the (e)mail gallery. Every ten entries I will post out a
book. |
