Vasarely II is the second of four large monographs on Victor Vasarely from Éditions du Griffon, and the artist designed and laid it out himself. The Larousse encyclopedia describes his “plastic alphabet” of 1959, interchangeable units of form and color, as codifiable and therefore programmable. For LACMA’s Art and Technology program he proposed a machine of lights, which IBM estimated would cost $2 million and which was never built.
