Description

In 1966 the Walker Art Center’s Design Quarterly gave a double issue, edited by Peter Seitz, to design and the computer. William Fetter, who drew the human figure by computer at Boeing, writes that the term “computer graphics” was coined there in 1960, and Kenneth Knowlton explains BEFLIX, his Bell Labs language for animated films. A. Michael Noll, also of Bell Labs, shows his Computer Composition with Lines beside Piet Mondrian’s Composition with Lines of 1917 and reports that only 28 percent of 100 viewers identified the computer picture correctly.
