Description

Edited by Glen Fleck, this book reproduces the History Wall of the exhibition of the same name and follows the machines and ideas behind the computer from the 1890 census to about 1950. The office of Charles and Ray Eames designed the exhibition for IBM’s Corporate Exhibit Center in New York, where it was open from 1971 to 1975. The Eames office’s Computer House of Cards of 1970 is also in this collection, and Herbert W. Franke, the Austrian scientist and computer artist, reviewed the book in the journal Leonardo in 1975.
