O(1): A Lineage of Constrained Systems
In February 1965, Georg Nees mounted what is widely regarded as the first exhibition of digital-computer-generated graphics, "computer grafik," at the Studiengalerie of the Technische Hochschule Stuttgart.
The works were plotter drawings produced on a Siemens-Digitalrechner 2002 running ALGOL and output through a Zuse Graphomat Z64, a machine built for engineering schematics that Nees pressed into service as an art instrument.
