Description

Caroline Csuri, daughter of the computer art pioneer Charles Csuri, is a computer artist in her own right and among the first generation of artists to make computer art on a desktop computer.

In 1987 she worked using the Amiga 2000, the computer that put color image processing within reach of individuals. Her method was a hybrid of analog and digital steps. She captured a photograph with a black-and-white surveillance camera fitted with Digi-View, a digitizer that worked by shooting the image three times through a rotating wheel of red, green, and blue filters held in front of the lens. The Amiga then combined the three exposures into a single full-color image. From there she manipulated the digitized photograph in PIXmate and Deluxe Paint, and extended the process with her own code written in C.
