Description

Artificiata I, Manfred Mohr’s first artist book, came out in Paris in 1969 as no. 22 of the Éditions Agentzia series, with a preface by the computer-music composer Pierre Barbaud. Mohr calls it “an artificial visual sonata.” By his own account its drawings, made in 1968–69, were his last before he began using the computer, which he taught himself to program in 1969.
