Description

The Long Ride is the computer artist Lloyd Sumner’s account of his four-year bicycle trip around the world, begun in 1971. From 1964 Sumner made computer drawings at the University of Virginia on a Burroughs B5500 and a CalComp 565 plotter, and in 1968 he published Computer Art and Human Response. He paid for much of the ride by selling his computer art under the name Computer Creations.
