Description

The cover of BYTE’s September 1984 graphics issue is by the artist Barbara Nessim, while most of the magazine’s covers were painted by Robert Tinney. She made it on a Norpak videotex system, a workstation built around a PDP-11/03, and directed the section art, drawn by Liz Gutowski. Inside, the designer Isaac Victor Kerlow writes on the computer as an artistic tool, and Daniel Cooper prints the listing of SineScape, his program for landscapes of sine curves. A five-picture gallery includes the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot’s Self-Inverse Fractal Patchwork and David Em’s Dr. Jim #1 (1983).
