Description

In Chromo Cube, Beck & Jung present the color cubes they made around 1980. The Swedish duo, Holger Bäckström and Bo Ljungberg, had used mainframe computers as an artistic medium since 1966. For these images they used Color, software that Mikael Jern wrote at Lund University. It ran on a UNIVAC 1108 and drove an ink-jet plotter that built smooth gradients from fine arrays of dots.
